Hi!
I'm getting this message at reading a grass raster file:
rastdum <- readRAST6("nomdum",cat=F)
raster map/current region mismatch detected in components:
cols rows origin.northing origin.easting
TRUE TRUE FALSE TRUE
set plugin=TRUE to override; continuing with plugin=FALSE
ERROR 6: SetColorTable() only supported for Byte or UInt16 bands in TIFF
format.
/media/Transcend/Montseny/GrassData//carlos/A_TOTAL/.tmp/caminoccg/nomdum has
GDAL driver GTiff
and has 94 rows and 116 columns
1. I don't think I have to worry about the ERROR 6:
No, this message is conditional on your GRASS r.out.gdal version, recent versions support a flag to turn off colour table export to GTiff.
2. But why is it stating a GTiff driver for reading a grass raster? Is there a previous conversion from raster to GTiff?
Yes, as you will see, your working region and the region of the raster
differ. The plugin exports the raster in its own region, not the current
region, while r.out.gdal respects the current region. If the two do not
match, r.out.gdal/readGDAL are used with a temporary file rather than the
plugin. To extract the raster in its own region, use execGRASS("g.region",
parameters=list(rast="nomdum")) first, then the plugin region and the
current region should be the same.
Hope this helps,
Roger
