[R-sig-Geo] WriteRaster as Float

[Tom Philippi]

Zebrat--
Without example code it is difficult to guess what you tried, and what you
desire.  By "float" do you mean FLT4S 4-byte values?  If so, try
datatype='FLT4S' in your call to writeRaster(), which should be the same as
'Float32' in gdal.  If you mean something else, I guessed wrong, so you
might specify a bit more about what you have, want, and have tried.
