Mike, 
Thanks for the feedback - I'll check it out. 
Best, 
Tim

FWIW I have a raster-delivering-front-end for RasterIO in this dev package:  

https://github.com/hypertidy/lazyraster

It uses the more obvious extent() idioms and will even use an open plot if nothing else is specified. 

(It uses an independent binding to GDAL in the vapour package). 

That might help, or not. It's on my list to find a sensible way for stars to leverage this obvious ease-of-use.  rgdal::readGDAL always had an interface to RasterIO, but only raster ever made use of that, and it's indirect - raster doesn't allow a mix of extent and resolution in its approach. 

Cheers, Mike.

Ok, fair enough that there's no magic involved. I've worked through the details with the small example as follows. The result is only a couple of cells different in each direction.

library(stars)
tif <- system.file("tif/L7_ETMs.tif", package = "stars")
x <- read_stars(tif) 
x <- x[,,,1]
# calculate a circular polygon at the center of the raster
pol <- x %>% st_bbox() %>% st_as_sfc() %>% st_centroid() %>% st_buffer(500)

bb_pol <- st_bbox(pol)

xoff <- st_dimensions(x)$x$offset
xdelt <- st_dimensions(x)$x$delta
yoff <- st_dimensions(x)$y$offset
ydelt <- st_dimensions(x)$y$delta
cropXoff <- (bb_pol$xmin - xoff + xdelt)/xdelt
cropXsize <- (bb_pol$xmax - bb_pol$xmin)/xdelt
cropYoff <- (bb_pol$ymin - yoff + ydelt)/ydelt
cropYsize <- (bb_pol$ymax - bb_pol$ymin)/ydelt

# if ydelt is negative, get abs of ysize and move yoffset to the top
if(cropYsize < 0){
  cropYsize <- abs(cropYsize)
  cropYoff <- cropYoff - cropYsize  
}

rasterio <- list(nXOff = cropXoff, nYOff = cropYoff, nXSize = cropXsize, nYSize = cropYsize, bands = c(1))
(z = read_stars(tif, RasterIO = rasterio))
plot(z)

# crop it if desired
plot(z[pol])

## compare to proxy method

x <- read_stars(tif, proxy = TRUE) 
x <- x[,,,1]
y <- st_as_stars(x[pol])
plot(y)

# only a couple of cells off!
z
y

stars can do the math, and so can you; it is explained here:

https://r-spatial.github.io/stars/articles/data_model.html

stars uses some functions directly from GDAL which it doesn't expose to
the user, but there is no magic going on here.
