Dear All, Parts of the he following email have been already posted on the R-devel list, but is supplemented with the code that may cause the error discussed below and put on the R-sig-geo list at the suggestion of Mr. Bivand. I am using R 2.6.2 on my Redhat AS4. I installed the RPM offered on the cran website. I would like to use R from my bash console with the following command:
/path/to/R --vanilla --slave --args < /data/myscript.R this script invokes a range of functions and tools, among others to process a bunch of raster images in a loop using GDAL. The thing is that releasing this command in the bash results in the following error: ERROR: ************************************* Error in GDAL.close(tds.out) : GDAL Error 1: TIFFReadDirectory:/tmp/RtmpBgrSyt/file2ef6a5b2: cannot handle zero scanline size Calls: plot.georef -> GDAL.close -> .Call Execution halted CODE: ************************************* plot.georef=function(grid.sp,graph.file,col.palette,breaks){ require("sp") require("rgdal") # get desired picture type base.name=strsplit(graph.file,"/")[[1]][length(strsplit(graph.file,"/")[[1]])] ft=0 ft=sum(c(ft,grep(".tiff",base.name))) if (ft==1){ file.typ="TIFF" } ft=0 ft=sum(c(ft,grep(".jpg",base.name))) if (ft==1){ file.typ="JPG" } ft=0 ft=sum(c(ft,grep(".png",base.name))) if (ft==1){ file.typ="PNG" } # create RGB bands names(grid.sp)=c("band1","band2") grid.sp$band3=grid.sp$band2 grid.sp$band4=grid.sp$band2 col.class=as.vector(cut(grid.sp$band1,br = breaks, labels=col.palette)) col.class[is.na(col.class)]="#FFFFFF" col.class.rgb=col2rgb(col.class) grid.sp$band1=col.class.rgb["red",] grid.sp$band2=col.class.rgb["green",] grid.sp$band3=col.class.rgb["blue",] grid.sp$band4[]=256 if (file.typ=="TIFF"){ #writeGDAL(grid.sp, graph.file,drivername = "GTiff",type = "band",options="ALPHA=YES") tds.out <- create2GDAL(dataset=grid.sp,drivername="GTiff",type="band") saveDataset(tds.out,graph.file) GDAL.close(tds.out) } } The error is most likely in the if control. Both variants (the with only the commented line and the one with only the three following lines) produce the error. Thanks for any help!
