WOW! thanks so much for the code. That really makes my life easier. I really 
appreciate it.

Well, i have a new question - and this time it should be more than easy .... i 
actually feel ashamed, but for whatever reason i get an error.
 
I am reading a multiband image and i want to get tables out of each band.
 
so:
imag <- new("GDALReadOnlyDataset", pca_list)
 
dim(imag)
[1] 1408 1548    6
 
pcab <- list()
 
for(i in 1:6) {
timag<- getRasterTable(imag, band = i)
pcab[[i]] <- timag$band1
}
 
Error: subscript out of bounds
 
i
[1] 2

So it is clear to me that for band = 1 everything is fine but for band = 2 
things are not anymore. So what i am doing wrong??
 
Again sorry for this very basic question, and lots of thanks for the code ;-)
 
Monica
