rasterToMemory {SpaDES.core}

Read raster to memory

Description

Wrapper to the raster function, that creates the raster object in memory, even if it was read in from file. There is the default method which is just a pass through, so this can be safely used on large complex objects, recursively, e.g., a simList.

Usage

rasterToMemory(x, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'list'
rasterToMemory(x, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'character'
rasterToMemory(x, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY'
rasterToMemory(x, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'simList'
rasterToMemory(x, ...)

Arguments

x

An object passed directly to the function raster (e.g., character string of a filename).

...

Additional arguments to raster::raster, raster::stack, or raster::brick.

Value

A raster object whose values are stored in memory.
