Source: R/trans_compose_raster.R
compose_raster.Rd

Combines multiple raster files into a single virtual raster layer (VRT). It accepts one or more folder names containing raster files and creates a virtual raster file. If no output file name is provided, a temporary file is used.

Usage

compose_raster(dir, out_file = NULL)

Arguments

dir

A string or vector of strings representing folder names containing raster files.

out_file

A string specifying the output file name (without extension). If `NULL`, a temporary file is used.

Value

A `SpatRaster` object from the `terra` package.
