...ow to remove the NA-values from an object of class GDALDataset in order to get a rectangular dataset? Also, the function saveDataset doesn't seem to work for these kind of data (or at least for me). I get the following error: > x <- new("GDALDataset", "xxx.dem") > getDriverLongName(getDriver(x)) [1] "USGS Optional ASCII DEM" > saveDataset(x,"xxx.data") Error in .local(.Object, ...) : GDAL Error 6: GDALDriver::Create() ... no create method implemented for this format. Or should the dataset be raster data? Then I get: > rd<-getRasterData(...

Hi there I'm looking for a function to read PNG-bitmap-images from a file into R. I only found: - the pixmap-package which cannot import png or similar formats - the rimage-package which can only import lossy jpeg-images (the convertion from png to jpeg modifies the data!) Is there any possibility to read PNG-files? Thanks for any help Dominic Sydler
