Stage a GDAL raster as a raw-BSQ cube (.bin + sibling .vrt).

Reads every band of src and writes garry's raw cube format: band-sequential f32/f64 planes in a .bin, described by a VRTRawRasterBand VRT that carries the georeference. Any GDAL consumer reads the VRT normally; garry's reader recognises the shape and reads the bin directly, which is many times faster than walking the tiled GeoTIFF. Use it once on pipeline intermediates that are read many times (per-year context cubes, prediction stacks).

Usage

stage_raw_cube(src, dst_vrt, slab_rows = 512L)

Arguments

src

Source path readable by GDAL.

dst_vrt

Destination .vrt path (the .bin lands beside it).

slab_rows

Rows per read/write slab (memory bound).

Value

dst_vrt, invisibly.
