In quadmesh: Quadrangle Mesh

#' Quadmesh to raster
#'
#' Approximate re-creation of a raster from a quadmesh.
#'
#' The raster is populated with the mean of the values at each corner, which is
#' closest to the interpretation use to create mesh3d from rasters. This can be over ridden
#' by setting 'index' to 1, 2, 3, or 4.
#' @param x 'mesh3d' object
#' @param index optional index to specify which z coordinate to use as raster values
#'
#' @return RasterLayer
#' @export
