[gdal-dev] Writing a Tiff

[Henning Bredel]

Hi there,

(not sure if my last mail came through)

I have read http://www.gdal.org/frmt_gtiff.html and I am
wondering if I have to build GDAL on my own to get the
possibility writing tiffs ..

I tried something like

,-----------------------------------.
bm.writeTiff <- function(bm,filename) {
        
        # GTiff ist standard but show it here, though
        driver <- new('GDALDriver', 'GTiff')
        
        t <- new("GDALTransientDataset",driver,nrow(bm),ncol(bm),
                        type="Int32")

        for (row in 1:nrow(bm)-1) {
                putRasterData(t,bm[row,1:(ncol(bm)-1)],offset=c(row,1))
        }
        
        saveDataset(t,filename)
        closeDataset(t)
}
`------------------------------------'

The code above runs into

Error in .local(.Object, ...) : 
  
        GDAL Error 6: GDALDriver::Create() ... no create method
implemented for
this format.

unfortunately.

Am I doing something wrong? Do you have got an alternative
for me? :)

Best regards

  Henning
