Hi There! I am trying to read a grid file (.asc) file with readGDAL (library[rgdal]). The file has 7541 rows and 5247 columns and a size of 177 Mb. My laptop has 2 Gb of RAM and 150 Gb of total hard disk memory. Is it possible to open this raster file in R at all? Thanks, Shams -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/help-with-R-memory-tp19369599p19369599.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
