Hi,

an alternative to using GDAL for writing ASCII grids is the write.ascii.grid function in the RSAGA package. (RSAGA is an interface to SAGA GIS, but this function actually doesn't require SAGA to be installed on your computer.)

write.ascii.grid(data, file, header = NULL, write.header = TRUE,
    digits, dec = ".", georef = "corner")

The 'data' argument is a matrix, and the 'header' is a list with named components as in the ASCII grid header, see RSAGA help. Defining your own header is pretty simple.

I hope this helps
 Alex

Dear all,
I am reading a set of maps from ArcGRID format using rgdal and I need to
export to ASC format.

But when I try the commands below, I get an error.

require(rgdal)

mes01jan<-readGDAL("jan_00")
image(mes01jan, col=topo.colors(50))  #looks find
writeGDAL(mes01jan, "mes01jan.asc", drivername = "AAIGrid", type="Byte")

Any idea?
