makeVRT: Make a VRT header file

In terra: Spatial Data Analysis

Make a VRT header file

Description

Create a VRT header file for a "flat binary" raster file that needs a header file to be able to read it, but does not have it.

Usage

makeVRT(filename, nrow, ncol, nlyr=1, extent, xmin, ymin, xres, yres=xres, xycenter=TRUE,
   crs="+proj=longlat", lyrnms="", datatype, NAflag=NA, bandorder="BIL", byteorder="LSB",
   toptobottom=TRUE, offset=0, scale=1)

Arguments

filename	character. raster filename (without the ".vrt" extension)
nrow	positive integer, the number of rows
ncol	positive integer, the number of columns
nlyr	positive integer, the number of layers
extent	SpatExtent or missing
xmin	numeric. minimum x coordinate (only used if extent is missing)
ymin	numeric. minimum y coordinate (only used if extent is missing)
xres	positive number. x resolution
yres	positive number. y resolution)
xycenter	logical. If TRUE, xmin and xmax represent the coordinates of the center of the extreme cell, in stead of the coordinates of the outside corner. Only used of extent is missing
crs	character. Coordinate reference system description
lyrnms	character. Layer names
datatype	character. One of "INT2S", "INT4S", "INT1U", "INT2U", "INT4U", "FLT4S", "FLT8S". If missing, this is guessed from the file size (INT1U for 1 byte per value, INT2S for 2 bytes and FLT4S for 4 bytes per value). This may be wrong because, for example, 2 bytes per value may in fact be INT2U (with the U for unsigned) values
NAflag	numeric. The value used as the "NA flag"
bandorder	character. One of "BIL", "BIP", or "BSQ". That is Band Interleaved by Line, or by Pixel, or Band SeQuential
byteorder	character. One of "LSB", "MSB". "MSB" is common for files generated on Linux systems, whereas "LSB" is common for files generated on windows
toptobottom	logical. If FALSE, the values are read bottom to top
offset	numeric. offset to be applied
scale	numeric. scale to be applied

Value

character (.VRT filename)
