Hello all, I recently installed rgdal 0.5.24-1 (kyngchaos framework) and I am having trouble making sense of the row, col information provided.
> a = new("GDALDataset", "dummy.tif") > GDALinfo("dummy.tif") rows 420 columns 660 bands 1 ll.x -55.5 ll.y -14.5 res.x 0.008333334 res.y 0.008333334 oblique.x 0 oblique.y 0 driver GTiff projection +proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs file dummy.tif > nrow(a) [1] 420 > ncol(a) [1] 660 > dummy = getRasterData(a) > nrow(dummy) [1] 660 > ncol(dummy) [1] 420 > test = matrix(0, nrow=420, ncol=660) > putRasterData(a,test) Error in putRasterData(a, test) : GDAL Error 5: Access window out of range in RasterIO(). Requested (0,0) of size 420x660 on raster of 660x420. Also, it appears that the lower left coordinates given by calling GDALinfo are actually the upper left coordinates. from command line GDAL: sardinha$ gdalinfo dummy.tif Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF Files: dummy.tif Size is 660, 420 Coordinate System is: GEOGCS["WGS 84", DATUM["WGS_1984", SPHEROID["WGS 84",6378137,298.2572235630016, AUTHORITY["EPSG","7030"]], AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0], UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433], AUTHORITY["EPSG","4326"]] Origin = (-55.500000000000000,-14.500000000000000) Pixel Size = (0.008333333767951,-0.008333333767951) Metadata: AREA_OR_POINT=Area Image Structure Metadata: INTERLEAVE=BAND Corner Coordinates: Upper Left ( -55.5000000, -14.5000000) ( 55d30'0.00"W, 14d30'0.00"S) Lower Left ( -55.5000000, -18.0000002) ( 55d30'0.00"W, 18d 0'0.00"S) Upper Right ( -49.9999997, -14.5000000) ( 50d 0'0.00"W, 14d30'0.00"S) Lower Right ( -49.9999997, -18.0000002) ( 50d 0'0.00"W, 18d 0'0.00"S) Center ( -52.7499999, -16.2500001) ( 52d45'0.00"W, 16d15'0.00"S) I am not sure this is a problem, but I don't remember seeing this before. Does anybody know if there is an older version that gives the correct information? Thanks, Naiara.
