Description

The following functions have been deprecated since 1.4.1 and will be dropped in Sedona 1.5.0. We already have better solutions for reading and writing rasters. The old reader/writer is buggy and not well designed.

 

1. sedona.read.format("geotiff")
2. sedona.write.format("geotiff")
3. RS_GetBand()
4. RS_Append()
5. The corresponding readers and writers in Sedona R must also be dropped.

 

The following functions must be re-written to support the new raster type

RS_Base64

RS_HTML: should be renamed to RS_Image
