write.rts: Write raster time Series data to a file

Description

Write an entire (Raster*TS) object to a file.

Usage

write.rts(x, filename, overwrite=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

a raster time series (Raster*TS) object created by rts

filename

Output filename

overwrite

Logical. If TRUE, "filename" will be overwritten if it exists

...

Additional arguments as for writeRaster:

datatype Character. utput data type (e.g. 'INT2S' or 'FLT4S'). See dataType. If no datatype is specified, 'FLT4S' is used.

bandorder: Character. 'BIL', 'BIP', or 'BSQ'.

Value

This function is used for writing values to a series of files.

Details

This function writes a raster time series object into a directory which named as is specified in the filename argument. To write the raster data, writeRaster in the package raster is used. The function writes the time information into a separate ascii file.

d <- as.Date(d) # or d <- as.POSIXct(d)

write.rts(n,"nf") # writing n into the working directory
