add_images {gdalcubes} | R Documentation

## Add images to an existing image collection

### Description

This function adds provided files or GDAL dataset identifiers and to an existing image collection by extracting datetime, image identifiers, and band information according to the collection's format.

### Usage

    add_images(
      image_collection,
      files,
      unroll_archives = TRUE,
      out_file = "",
      quiet = FALSE
    )

### Arguments

`image_collection` | image_collection object or path to an existing collection file
`files` | character vector with paths to image files on disk or any GDAL dataset identifiers (including virtual file systems and higher level drivers or GDAL subdatasets)
`unroll_archives` | automatically convert .zip, .tar archives and .gz compressed files to GDAL virtual file system dataset identifiers (e.g. by prepending /vsizip/) and add contained files to the list of considered files
`out_file` | path to output file, an empty string (the default) will update the collection in-place, whereas images will be added to a new copy of the image collection at the given location otherwise.
`quiet` | logical; if TRUE, do not print resulting image collection if return value is not assigned to a variable

### Value

image collection proxy object, which can be used to create a data cube using `raster_cube`

### Examples

    L8_files <- list.files(system.file("L8NY18", package = "gdalcubes"),
                             ".TIF", recursive = TRUE, full.names = TRUE)
    L8_col = create_image_collection(L8_files[1:12], "L8_L1TP")
    add_images(L8_col, L8_files[13:24])
