Class

Returns a two-dimensional array with data from a raster band, used internally within functions

getRasterData(dataset, band = NULL, offset = c(0, 0),
              region.dim = dim(dataset), output.dim = region.dim,
              interleave = c(0, 0), as.is = FALSE, list_out=FALSE) 

getRasterTable(dataset, band = NULL, offset = c(0, 0), 
  region.dim = dim(dataset))

getProjectionRef(dataset, OVERRIDE_PROJ_DATUM_WITH_TOWGS84 = NULL,
 enforce_xy = NULL, get_source_if_boundcrs=TRUE)

getRasterBand(dataset, band = 1)

getRasterBlockSize(raster)

toSigned(x, base)

toUnSigned(x, base)

get_OVERRIDE_PROJ_DATUM_WITH_TOWGS84()
set_OVERRIDE_PROJ_DATUM_WITH_TOWGS84(value)

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("GDALRasterBand", dataset, band).

Slots

handle:: Object of class "externalptr", from class "GDALMajorObject", used internally; not for public consumption

Extends

Class "GDALMajorObject", directly.

Methods

dim: signature(x = "GDALRasterBand"): ...
initialize: signature(.Object = "GDALRasterBand"): ...

Arguments

dataset: An object inheriting from class 'GDALReadOnlyDataset'
band: The band number (1-based) to read from
offset: Number of rows and columns from the origin (usually the upper left corner) to begin reading from; presently ordered (y,x) - this may change
region.dim: The number of rows and columns to read from the dataset; presently ordered (y,x) - this may change
output.dim: Number of rows and columns in the output data; if smaller than region.dim the data will be subsampled
interleave: Element and row stride while reading data; rarely needed
as.is: If false, scale the data to its natural units; if the case of thematic data, return the data as factors
list_out: default FALSE, return array, if TRUE, return a list of vector bands
raster: An object of class GDALRasterBand
x: integer variable for conversion
base: If Byte input, 8, if Int16 or UInt16, 16
OVERRIDE_PROJ_DATUM_WITH_TOWGS84: logical value, default NULL, which case the cached option set by set_OVERRIDE_PROJ_DATUM_WITH_TOWGS84 is used. Ignored if the GDAL version is less than “1.8.0” or if the CPLConfigOption variable is already set
enforce_xy: (PROJ6+/GDAL3+) either use global setting (default NULL) or override policy for coordinate ordering easting/x as first axis, northing/y as second axis.
get_source_if_boundcrs: The presence of the +towgs84= key in a Proj4 string projargs= argument value may promote the output WKT2 CRS to BOUNDCRS for PROJ >= 6 and GDAL >= 3, which is a coordinate operation from the input datum to WGS84. This is often unfortunate, so a PROJ function is called through rgdal to retrieve the underlying source definition.
value: logical value to set OVERRIDE_PROJ_DATUM_WITH_TOWGS84

Details

getRasterData:: retrieves data from the dataset as an array or list of bands; will try to convert relevant bands to factor if category names are available in the GDAL driver when returning a list.
getRasterTable:: retrieves data from the dataset as data frame.
getProjectionRef:: returns the geodetic projection in Well Known Text format.
getRasterBand:: returns a raster band
getRasterBlockSize:: returns the natural block size of the raster band. Use this for efficient tiled IO.
toSigned:: used to convert a band read as unsigned integer to signed integer
toUnSigned:: used to convert a band read as signed integer to unsigned integer

Note

The OVERRIDE_PROJ_DATUM_WITH_TOWGS84 argument is used to revert GDAL behaviour to pre-1.8.0 status; from 1.8.0, any input datum may be discarded if the input also includes a towgs84 tag in conversion to the PROJ.4 representation, see https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4880 and https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2012-November/034550.html. The cached value of OVERRIDE_PROJ_DATUM_WITH_TOWGS84 will also be used in open.SpatialGDAL, sub.GDROD, and asGDALROD_SGDF, which do not have a suitable argument
