Bindings for the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library
Description
Provides bindings to Frank Warmerdam's Geospatial Data
Abstraction Library (GDAL) (>= 1.3.1) and access to
projection/transformation operations from the PROJ.4 library.
The GDAL and PROJ.4 libraries are external to the package, and,
when installing the package from source, must be correctly
installed first. Both GDAL raster and OGR vector map data can
be imported into R, and GDAL raster data and OGR vector data
exported. Use is made of classes defined in the sp package.
rgdal binaries for Win64 and OSX are available from the CRAN
(extras) repository.
