Provides bindings to the 'Geospatial' Data Abstraction Library
|
||
|
|
('GDAL') (>= 1.11.4) and access to projection/transformation
|
||
|
|
operations from the 'PROJ.4' library. The 'GDAL' and 'PROJ.4'
|
||
|
|
libraries are external to the package, and, when installing the
|
||
|
|
package from source, must be correctly installed first. From 'rgdal'
|
||
|
|
1.4.1, provision is made for 'PROJ6' accommodation, with 'PROJ6'
|
||
|
|
functionality to follow; from 1.4.1 'rgdal' will build and function
|
||
|
|
when 'PROJ' >= 6. Both 'GDAL' raster and 'OGR' vector map data can be
|
||
|
|
imported into R, and 'GDAL' raster data and 'OGR' vector data
|
||
|
|
exported. Use is made of classes defined in the 'sp' package. Windows
|
||
|
|
and Mac Intel OS X binaries (including 'GDAL', 'PROJ.4' and 'Expat')
|
||
|
|
are provided on 'CRAN'.
