R Documentation

Convert ESRI ASCII/binary grids to SAGA grids

Description

rsaga.esri.to.sgrd converts grid files from ESRI's ASCII (.asc) and binary (.flt) format to SAGA's (version 2) grid format (.sgrd).

Usage

rsaga.esri.to.sgrd(
  in.grids,
  out.sgrds = set.file.extension(in.grids, ".sgrd"),
  in.path,
  ...
)

Arguments

`in.grids`	character vector of ESRI ASCII/binary grid files (default file extension: `.asc`); files should be located in folder `in.path`
`out.sgrds`	character vector of output SAGA grid files; defaults to `in.grids` with file extension being replaced by `.sgrd`, which is also the default extension if file names without extension are specified; files will be placed in the current SAGA workspace (default: `rsaga.env()$workspace`, or `env$workspace` if an `env` argument is provided
`in.path`	folder with `in.grids`
`...`	optional arguments to be passed to `rsaga.geoprocessor()`, including the `env` RSAGA geoprocessing environment

Value

The type of object returned depends on the intern argument passed to the rsaga.geoprocessor(). For intern=FALSE it is a numerical error code (0: success), or otherwise (default) a character vector with the module's console output.

If multiple in.grids are converted, the result will be a vector of numerical error codes of the same length, or the combination of the console outputs with c().

Note

This function uses module 1 from the SAGA library io_grid.
