In environmentalinformatics-marburg/satelliteTools: What the package does (short line)

Usage

initOTB(binPathOtb = NULL, rootPathOtb = NULL, otbType = NULL,
  DL = "C:", selectOtbVer = FALSE)

Arguments

binPathOtb	string contains path to where the otb binaries are located
rootPathOtb	string provides the root folder of the binPathOtb
DL	string hard drive letter default is C:
selectOtbVer	boolean default is FALSE. If there is more than one OTB installation and selectOtbVer = TRUE the user can select interactively the preferred OTB version

Details

initOTB

if called without any parameter initOTB() it performs a full search over the hardrive C:. If it finds one or more OTB binaries it will take the first hit. You have to set selectOtbVer = TRUE for an interactive selection of the preferred version.
