 Currently all code is written in R, for is clarity, and ease of adapation. However, in some future version we would like to also implement C functions to speed up processing of very large datasets. The package is build around a number of S4 classes of which the RasterLayer and RasterStack classes are the most important. Many generic methods are implemented for RasterLayers (arithmic, logical, plot, hist, ...)
 </br>
-The raster package is used in a number of other packages, including <a href="http://gdistance.r-forge.r-project.org/">gdistance</a> for matrix based (cost, resistance) distance calculations; and RemoteSensing and geodata (both currently part of the <a href="http://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=249">Rgis</a> project.

 One of the main reasons for developing this package is that we would like to build a bridge to - the powerful statistics and modeling of - R for the "GIS" community. Our perspective is that standard GIS is too map-centric, and that proper data-analysis needs tools that are more model and data centric.
