[R-sig-Geo] mass importing rasters

[Thomas Adams]

  Martin,

Depending on what you are doing, you may want to consider the use of 
GRASS GIS (http://grass.osgeo.org/) in combination with R. This has been 
a successful strategy for me in the past, not using Geotiffs, however. 
The advantage is that the Geotiffs can be imported into GRASS GIS format 
in batch form and then using r.mapcalc within GRASS, nearly any map 
algebra calculations are possible without running into memory issues 
that you may encounter with R alone.

Regards,
Tom
