Create an in-memory GDAL raster dataset from R data

Usage

r_to_MEM(data, bbox, srs, data_type, no_data_value, nbands, xsize, ysize)

Arguments

data: numeric vector, matrix or array
bbox: numeric vector of length 4 representing the bounding box with the order: xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax
srs: character spatial reference system string
data_type: character GDAL data type name (e.g., "Float32", "Int16"), if NULL (default) and the data has no gis attribute, "Float32" is used.
no_data_value: numeric NoData value to set for all bands. If NULL (default) a sensible default NoData value for the specified data_type is used.
nbands: numeric number of bands
xsize: numeric number of pixels in x direction
ysize: numeric number of pixels in y direction

Value

GDALRasterDataset object

Details

If data has been generated from read_ds it will include a gis attribute containing the necessary spatial metadata. If this is the case, the spatial parameters are automatically extracted from the gis attribute.

Examples

v2m <- r_to_MEM(
  as.vector(c(
    sin(
      sqrt(outer(1:120 - 60, 1:110 - 55, function(x, y) x^2 + y^2)) * 0.9
    )
  )),
  nbands = 1,
  xsize = 120,
  ysize = 110
)

v2m
