rsaga.esri.to.sgrd converts grid files from ESRI's ASCII (.asc) and binary (.flt) format to SAGA's (version 2) grid format (.sgrd).
rsaga.esri.to.sgrd(
in.grids,
out.sgrds = set.file.extension(in.grids, ".sgrd"),
in.path,
...
)The type of object returned depends on the intern argument passed to the rsaga.geoprocessor(). For intern=FALSE it is a numerical error code (0: success), or otherwise (default) a character vector with the module's console output.
If multiple in.grids are converted, the result will be a vector of numerical error codes of the same length, or the combination of the console outputs with c().
character vector of ESRI ASCII/binary grid files (default file extension: .asc); files should be located in folder in.path
character vector of output SAGA grid files; defaults to in.grids with file extension being replaced by .sgrd, which is also the default extension if file names without extension are specified; files will be placed in the current SAGA workspace (default: rsaga.env()$workspace, or env$workspace if an env argument is provided
folder with in.grids
optional arguments to be passed to rsaga.geoprocessor(), including the env RSAGA geoprocessing environment
