serialize and saveRDS for SpatRaster and SpatVector. Note that these objects will first be "packed" with wrap
, and after unserialize/readRDS they need to be unpacked with rast
or vect
.
Use of these functions is not recommended. Especially for SpatRaster it is generally much more efficient to use writeRaster
and write, e.g., a GTiff file.
SpatRaster objects must have all values in memory (that is, the cell values are not in files) to be serialized. These functions use set.values
to load values into memory if needed and if deemed possible given the amount of RAM available.
# S4 method for SpatRaster
saveRDS(object, file="", ascii = FALSE, version = NULL, compress=TRUE, refhook = NULL)# S4 method for SpatVector
saveRDS(object, file="", ascii = FALSE, version = NULL, compress=TRUE, refhook = NULL)
# S4 method for SpatRaster
serialize(object, connection, ascii = FALSE, xdr = TRUE, version = NULL, refhook = NULL)
# S4 method for SpatVector
serialize(object, connection, ascii = FALSE, xdr = TRUE, version = NULL, refhook = NULL)
