tiling: Slice raster image in square tiles

In sumtxt/cartotools: Helpful functions for working with GIS data

Description

tiling uses gdal_translate to slice a raster image into square tiles preserving the georeferencing of the input raster.

Usage

tiling(file, size, outsize = 100, path = NULL, co = "COMPRESS=JPEG",
  of = "GTiff", ...)

Arguments

file	raster image file name
size	size of square tiles in pixels
outsize	reduction in resolution (default=none)
path	path to write to
co	compression algorithm
of	output format
...	further parameters passed to gdal_translate

Details

The default settings preserve the resolution but use JPEG compression to reduce the tiles' file size.

Value

none
