abstract: Interface to the Raster API of the 'Geospatial Data Abstraction Library'
  ('GDAL', <https://gdal.org>). Bindings are implemented in an exposed C++ class encapsulating
  a 'GDALDataset' and its raster band objects, along with several stand-alone functions.
  These support manual creation of uninitialized datasets, creation from existing
  raster as template, read/set dataset parameters, low level I/O, color tables, raster
  attribute tables, virtual raster (VRT), and 'gdalwarp' wrapper for reprojection
  and mosaicing. Includes 'GDAL' algorithms ('dem_proc()', 'polygonize()', 'rasterize()',
  etc.), and functions for coordinate transformation and spatial reference systems.
  Calling signatures resemble the native C, C++ and Python APIs provided by the 'GDAL'
  project. Includes raster 'calc()' to evaluate a given R expression on a layer or
  stack of layers, with pixel x/y available as variables in the expression; and raster
  'combine()' to identify and count unique pixel combinations across multiple input
  layers, with optional output of the pixel-level combination IDs. Provides raster
  display using base 'graphics'. Bindings to a subset of the 'OGR' API are also included
  for managing vector data sources. Bindings to a subset of the Virtual Systems Interface
  ('VSI') are also included to support operations on 'GDAL' virtual file systems.
  These are general utility functions that abstract file system operations on URLs,
  cloud storage services, 'Zip'/'GZip'/'7z'/'RAR' archives, and in-memory files. 'gdalraster'
  may be useful in applications that need scalable, low-level I/O, or prefer a direct
  'GDAL' API.
