[R-sig-Geo] Conflicting information between GDALinfo() and gdalinfo

[Agustin Lobo]

Hi!
I'm having different origin according to gdalinfo ( "Origin =
(0.000000000000000,1024.000000000000000)") and GDALinfo
("TTC0125v2flip.tif"). When displayed in QGIS, the origin is 0,1024
(using ubuntu 10.04, see sessionInfo at the end, tif file here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3180464/TTC0125v2flip.tif

tif file was saved with
writeRaster(bout,filename="TTC0125v2flip.tif", format="GTiff",
overwrite=TRUE,flip=T)
