[R-sig-Geo] How to open and work with an .hdf map

[Marc Marí Dell'Olmo]

Thank you very much. I'm going to try to convert in a geotiff with
some of the mentioned programs. I have never used this type of format,
is it only an image? or can I obtain also the data of the variable
represented with the geotiff?
