Create a VRT header file for a "flat binary" raster file that needs a header file to be able to read it, but does not have it.
makeVRT(filename, nrow, ncol, nlyr=1, extent, xmin, ymin, xres, yres=xres, xycenter=TRUE,
crs="+proj=longlat", lyrnms="", datatype, NAflag=NA, bandorder="BIL", byteorder="LSB",
toptobottom=TRUE, offset=0, scale=1)character (.VRT filename)
character. raster filename (without the ".vrt" extension)
positive integer, the number of rows
positive integer, the number of columns
positive integer, the number of layers
SpatExtent or missing
numeric. minimum x coordinate (only used if extent is missing)
numeric. minimum y coordinate (only used if extent is missing)
positive number. x resolution
positive number. y resolution)
logical. If TRUE, xmin and xmax represent the coordinates of the center of the extreme cell, in stead of the coordinates of the outside corner. Only used of extent is missing
character. Coordinate reference system description
character. Layer names
character. One of "INT2S", "INT4S", "INT1U", "INT2U", "INT4U", "FLT4S", "FLT8S". If missing, this is guessed from the file size (INT1U for 1 byte per value, INT2S for 2 bytes and FLT4S for 4 bytes per value). This may be wrong because, for example, 2 bytes per value may in fact be INT2U (with the U for unsigned) values
numeric. The value used as the "NA flag"
character. One of "BIL", "BIP", or "BSQ". That is Band Interleaved by Line, or by Pixel, or Band SeQuential
character. One of "LSB", "MSB". "MSB" is common for files generated on Linux systems, whereas "LSB" is common for files generated on windows
logical. If FALSE, the values are read bottom to top
numeric. offset to be applied
numeric. scale to be applied
vrt to create a vrt for a collection of raster tiles
