[R-sig-Geo] accessing spatial imagery via rgdal's web map tile service driver

[Fischbach, Anthony]

I see that WMS ("OGC Web Map Service") and WMTS ("OGC Web Mab Tile
Service") are supported within my rgdal installation , however, it is
unclear how to call for WMTS imagery.
Please advise on how to access geo-referenced imagery through a web map
tile service, such as described here
(

)
for gdal using the current rgdal version (under R version 3.4.3 rgdal
version 1.2-16)
