config_options= argument to all of the packaged
utilities, supporting usage of any of the GDAL Utility config options
documented at https://gdal.org/user/configoptions.html.
(This change was enabled by the recent addition to an argument of the
same name to sf::gdal_utils().)>= 3.6-1, at request of
Roger Bivand. (rgdal is soon to be retired, as is
described in more detail here and here.)New functions gdalmdiminfo() and
gdalmdimtranslate() support calls to those GDAL
utilities.
gdalinfo() gains a quiet= argument that
controls whether or not the information it returns is printed to the
console. (Formerly, printing to the console was always on.)
gdalinfo() now (silently) returns a character vector
containing the report returned by GDAL’s gdalinfo utility. (Until now,
it simply returned the name of the file supplied to its
datasetname= formal argument.)
Added formal arguments corresponding to all new command line options added between GDAL versions 3.2.1 and 3.5.2.
Added dependency on package sf >= 1.0-9.
Removed gdalUtils from Suggests, as it was removed from CRAN on 2022-04-18. (I had used it in this package’s test suite, comparing its results with those of this package.)
Added rgdal to Suggests, to cure a CRAN complaint about its needing to be available to run the example in ?gdal_grid.
gRasterize() function and, as a result, the
gdalUtilities package’s dependency on the
raster package and its dependencies. (Thanks
to Jakub Nowosad for the suggestion.) The source code for
gRasterize() is still available in the GitHub gist at
https://gist.github.com/JoshOBrien/7cf19b8b686e6d6230a78a1a9799883b from
where it may be sourced using, e.g.,
devtools::source_gist().
