conn.read_gdal: Read GDAL supported raster files.

In ursa: Non-Interactive Spatial Tools for Raster Processing and Visualization

Read GDAL supported raster files.

Description

read_gdal creates ursaRaster object from GDAL supported raster files using functions from packages with low-level raster reading.

Usage

read_gdal(fname, resetGrid = TRUE, band = NULL,
          engine = c("native", "sf", "gdalraster", "vapour"),
          verbose = FALSE, ...)

ursa_read(fname, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

fname	Character. GDAL supported raster file name.
resetGrid	Logical. If TRUE then new sessional grid is based on opened raster image. Default is TRUE
band	Character (regular expression) or integer.
engine	Character. Functionality of which package is used for reading data. This is experimental list, which future depends on evolution of reviewed packages and their availability for partial reading of multiband rasters.
verbose	Logical. Value TRUE may provide some additional information on console. Default is FALSE.
...	Ignored.

Details

ursa_read is simplified implementation of gdal_read.

The composite GDAL formats (e.g., NetCDF: Network Common Data Format, HDF5: Hierarchical Data Format Release 5) are likely unsupported.

read_gdal uses functions from other other packages. It's a wrapper.

Category names and color tables are supported.

Value

Object of class ursaRaster.
