GDALDriver-class.RdGDALDriver objects encapsulate GDAL file format
drivers. GDALDriver inherits from GDALMajorObject-class.
getGDALDriverNames()
gdalDrivers()
getDriverName(driver)
getDriverLongName(driver)
getGDALVersionInfo(str = "--version")
getGDALCheckVersion()
getGDALwithGEOS()
rgdal_extSoftVersion()
get_cached_orig_PROJ_LIB()
get_cached_orig_GDAL_DATA()
get_cached_set_PROJ_LIB()
get_cached_set_GDAL_DATA()Objects can be created by calls of the form new("GDALDriver", name, handle), where name: a string giving the name of a GDAL driver, handle: used internally; not for public consumption (default = NULL).
handle:Object of class "externalptr", from class "GDALMajorObject", used internally; not for public consumption
Class "GDALMajorObject", directly.
signature(.Object = "GDALDriver"): drivername: a string giving the name of a GDAL driver, handle: used internally; not for public consumption (default = NULL)
An object inheriting from class 'GDALDriver'
A string, may be one of "--version", "VERSION_NUM", "RELEASE_DATE", "RELEASE_NAME"
getGDALDriverNames, gdalDrivers:returns all driver names currently installed in GDAL, with their declared create and copy status (some drivers can create datasets, others can only copy from a prototype with a different driver.
getDriverName:returns the GDAL driver name associated with the driver object.
getDriverLongName:returns a longer driver name.
getGDALVersionInfo:returns the version of the GDAL runtime shared object.
getGDALCheckVersion:checks the version of the GDAL headers used when building the package (GDAL_VERSION_MAJOR, GDAL_VERSION_MINOR) - if the two versions differ, problems may arise (the C++ API/ABI may have changed), and rgdal should be re-installed
getGDALwithGEOS:because drivers may behave differently if GDAL itself was built with GEOS support, the function uses a heuristic to check whether GDAL has access to the GEOS Union function or not
get_cached_orig_PROJ_LIB, get_cached_orig_GDAL_DATAThe values of environment variables PROJ_LIB and GDAL_DATA as read when this package was loaded
get_cached_set_PROJ_LIB, get_cached_set_GDAL_DATAIf not "", the values set when loading this package to point to metadata files included in CRAN binary packages
Loading the rgdal package changes the GDAL_DATA environmental variable to the GDAL support files bundled with the package.
