Hi,
I am reading in some raster files and converting them to GeoTiff (using
the raster package), I want them to be 8 bit unsigned integer (values in
the case of this particular raster range from 0 to 55). However when
writing the raster to GeoTiff R seems to assign it to dataType "FLT4S"
despite specifying the dataType. See example code below:
foo<- raster(raster.files[1],datatype = INT1U)
dataType(foo)
[1] "INT1U"
fool<-
writeRaster(foo,filename=paste("../test/",raster.files[1],sep=""),
format="GTiff",dataType = 'INT1U',overwrite=TRUE)
dataType(fool)
[1] "FLT4S"
Any help/ insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
Emma
