Provides bindings to Frank Warmerdam's Geospatial Data
Abstraction Library (GDAL) (>= 1.6.3) and access to
projection/transformation operations from the PROJ.4 library.
The GDAL and PROJ.4 libraries are external to the package, and,
when installing the package from source, must be correctly
installed first. Both GDAL raster and OGR vector map data can
be imported into R, and GDAL raster data and OGR vector data
exported. Use is made of classes defined in the sp package.
Windows and Mac Intel OS X binaries (including GDAL, PROJ.4 and
Expat) are provided on CRAN.
