Currently we support raster and vector formats for the terra package. If you are unfamiliar with targets, we recommend watching “targets in 4 minutes”. How to cite geotargets One example citation of geotargets could be as follows: “R packages used in this analysis included (list R packages used), targets, and geotargets (Tierney, N., Scott, E., & Brown, A, 2024). Here is the full bibliographic reference for your references: Tierney N, Scott E, Brown A (2024). “geotargets: ‘Targets’ Extensions for Geospatial Formats.” . Installation You can install the development version of geotargets like so: Why geotargets If you want to use geospatial data formats (such as terra ) with the targets package to build analytic reproducible pipelines, it involves writing a lot of custom targets wrappers. We wrote geotargets so you can use geospatial data formats with targets . To provide more detail on this, a common problem when using popular libraries like terra with targets is running into errors with read and write. Due to the limitations that come with the underlying C++ implementation in the terra library, there are specific ways to write and read these objects. See ?terra for details. geotargets helps handle these write and read steps, so you don’t have to worry about them and can use targets as you are used to.
