rasterPrep prepares raster data for analysis or modeling within R; and (after modeling) prepares output raster data for viewing in GIS software.
To support modeling this package has tools for creating a series of aligned TIFF files from raster and vector data.
A separate set of tools converts raster files into TIFF files optimized for viewing with stand alone GIS software by adding overviews, tiling, compression, VATs, stats, histograms, and/or embedded color tables. These tools will be especially useful when working with large datasets that may load very slowly or require additional processing in GIS software prior to viewing unless these extra components are provided.
This package calls GDAL Utilities bundled with the sf package and no longer requires them to be installed independently of R.
