R package 'raster'

The 'raster' package in R is a tool for working with spatial data organized in grid formats, called raster data. It allows users to read, analyze, manipulate, and visualize complex geographic information, such as satellite images or elevation maps. Using 'raster,' you can perform operations like extracting data for specific areas, analyzing terrain features, or modeling environmental phenomena. It is essential for geospatial analysis, providing a flexible and efficient way to handle large raster datasets within R.
