Writing an ASCII grid with nodata values
Hi Ned, Is it an option to switch to another GDAL format, GTiff for example? Check if this exports the NA values correctly. Not really an answer to your question, but maybe a helpful suggestion. cheers and good luck, Paul

I am trying to export a SpatialPixelsDataFrame object with floating point values to an ASCII grid file and want to specify a nodata value. I tried write.asciigrid from the sp package and I couldn't figure out how to output float values. The pixel values exported as integers. For now I am using the following writeGDAL statement: -- writeGDAL(sp_hsm_pard, out_pard, drivername="AAIGrid", type="Float32", options="DECIMAL_PRECISION=3", "NODATA=-9999") -- This appears to output the image okay but it is not assigning the proper values to NODATA_value. The NODATA_value in the exported file is "1" instead of "-9999". Can someone let me know how to output floating point data to an ESRI ASCII grid file and specify a nodata value. Thanks, Ned
