gdaltools
R package to wrap spatial data processing in gdal
To make all steps of a research pipeline reproducible, it is important to ensure that processing of spatial data is also recorded used transparent and reproducible code. Many functions that exist to process spatial data with reprojecting or rasterizing are much slower than using gdal
from the terminal. However, writing in command language is not very familiar to many R users, so this wrapper package contains a few functions to call gdal
directly, from within R.
