Overview

About

Maintained by Michael D. SumnerCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Impose a tiling scheme on a raster grid defined by its dimension and extent. Computes tile counts, pixel offsets (suitable for spatial library windowed reads), and geographic extents for each tile. Also supports standard Web Mercator and geodetic tiling profiles with zoom levels, and provides a spatial map of what each chunk covers for interrogating virtual raster stores. Based on the analysis of Lamb (1994, ISBN-13: 978-0748403158) "Tiling very large rasters" in 'Advances in GIS Research: Proceedings of the Sixth International Symposium on Spatial Data Handling', volume 1, pages 449-461.

Changes in 0.1.0

Preparing for CRAN submission.
grout() is now the definitive user constructor; removed internal .groutfrom() wrapper and dead dimXY compatibility branch.
.tilescheme() simplified: tile counts now computed with ceiling() for clarity; removed duplicate "hack" comment logic.
print.grout_tiles() output uses x format for dimensions and now returns x invisibly (not NULL).
plot.grout_tiles() rewritten to iterate individual tile rectangles rather than relying on an unexported as_rect S3 method.
as_rect_grout() is now an internal helper (not an S3 generic); .p2s() (unused) removed.
extent.grout_tilescheme() replaced by internal .tilescheme_extent().

tile_spec() and tile_zoom() cleaned up: explicit as.integer() coercions, removed Remotes: dependency on dev vaster, informational messages improved.
Comprehensive test suite added covering dangle trimming, contiguous offsets, input validation, and tile_spec()/tile_zoom() output.
DESCRIPTION bumped to R (>= 3.5.0), added Config/testthat/edition: 3, removed Remotes: field, added wk to Suggests.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("grout", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("hypertidy/grout")

Development version from hypertidy/grout. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-grout

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-grout

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-grout

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
