datasource: Are values in memory and/or on disk?

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Description

These are helper functons for programmers and for debugging that provide information about whether a Raster object has associated values, and if these are in memory or on disk.

fromDisk is TRUE if the data source is a file on disk; and FALSE if the object only exists in memory.

inMemory is TRUE if all values are currently in memory (RAM); and FALSE if not (in which case they either are on disk, or there are no values).

hasValues is TRUE if the object has cell values.
