I can't believe that I am asking for advice on how to assist my special-needs GIS software with recognizing files created by the raster/rgdal packages.
Recently (after some silent update by IT no doubt), I noticed that files created like this: writeRaster(r.mast, filename='spatial_data/latest/mast-model', datatype='FLT4S', format='ENVI', overwrite=TRUE, NAflag=-999) ... aren't read-in properly by ArcGIS (9.3.1). Specifically, the raster statistics and the NODATA value aren't read from the file or from the .xml file that is automatically generated by GDAL. I have tried all of the different formats supported by the raster package, with the 'ENVI' format getting the closest to working (statistics almost correct but missing NODATA information). Are there any additional things I can do to help ArcGIS figure these files out without any tweaking from within the hulking beast? Ideally, I would like to update model estimates on a semi-regular basis and have the files ready for viewing by colleagues-- without manual intervention. Thanks!
