[R-sig-Geo] How to work with big images (>1GB)

[Matthias Bösling]

Dear list,

does anyone knows how to work with big spacial image with a size of more
than 1 GB? I tried to tile the image in multiple smaller tiles but the
multiple call of the function 'writeRaster' of the package 'raster' leads
to crashes of the RGui. How do you solve the problem with big images or
are ther no possiblities to work in r with big images yet?


Thanks and best regards,
Matthias Bösling
