Although it is flattering that users

I was curious: is there any practical reason to not use brick() on a
single-band raster (efficiency hits, for instance)? The reason I'm
asking is that I'm working on some functions that return a single or a
multi-band output, and rather than doing an if(nlayers(x)==1)
raster(x)
Jonathan,
I do not thing it would matter much. But there are a few functions
that only work on for a RasterLayer (e.g. focal, distance); so you
would need to coerce the object to a RasterLayer first to use these.
The raster package started with RasterLayer and RasterStack.
RasterBrick was added
Hi,
I've learned the basics of using RgoogleMaps and rasterVis, and now I want to
combine their capabilities to use levelplot() with a georeferenced PNG image as
a background in the lattice panel. And, I want to plot to the normal R
graphics devices, not the web as package plotGoogleMaps
Hi Scott,
You may be interested in the ggmap package; see
