Read a 'GeoClass.txt' File

Description

This is a convenience wrapper function to import a GeoClass file as data frame into R. GeoClass files contain definitions of SLC (Soil and Land use Crop) classes in twelve to 14 predefined columns, see GeoClass.txt documentation.

)

Arguments

filename	Path to and file name of the GeoClass file to import. Windows users: Note that Paths are separated by '/', not '\'.
