The raster package can use raster les in several formats, including some natively supported formats and other formats via the rgdal package. The package implements basic and highlevel functions. A raster is a spatial geographic data structure that divides a region into rectangles called cells or pixels that can store one or more values for each of these cells. The output is a raster object in r but it is also written to disk as outputraster. The ability to plot raster graphics in pdf files can be useful when one needs multipage documents, but the plots contain so many individual elements that the usual use of vector graphics results in inconveniently large file sizes.

The raster version is well established and more elaborate. The raster package this vignette describes the r package raster. I would like reprint that image but say only first 200 rows and first 300 columns. If both width and height are specified, it is likely that the image will be distorted not all graphics devices are capable of rendering raster images and some may not be able to produce rotated images i. This website provides materials to learn about spatial data analysis and modeling with r. An introduction to geographic data with r raster and. The only di erence in analysis is at the rst step below. The pdf produced is fairly simple, with each page being represented as a single stream by default compressed and possibly with references to raster images. Allows to keep your plots within the reasonable size limit without loosing vector properties of the scalesensitive information. We begin by loading a landscape raster distributed with the package. Either way, if youre going to work with raster in r you will likely be using the rgdal and r ncdf packages to supplement what is contained in the r raster package.
