\begin{Description}\relax
\code{GDALTransientDataset} is identical to 
\code{\LinkA{GDALDataset-class}{GDALDataset.Rdash.class}}
except that transient datasets are not associated with any
user-visible file. Transient datasets delete their associated file
data when closed. See \code{\LinkA{saveDataset}{saveDataset}} and
\code{\LinkA{saveDatasetAs}{saveDatasetAs}}.
\end{Description}
\begin{Section}{Objects from the Class}
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("GDALTransientDataset", driver, rows, cols, bands, type, options, handle)}.
\describe{
\item[driver] A "GDALDriver" object that determines the storage
format
\item[rows] Number of rows in the newly created dataset
\item[cols] Number of columns in the newly created dataset
\item[bands] Number of bands to create
\item[type] A GDAL type name as listed in \code{.GDALDataTypes}
\item[options] Driver specific options (currently ignored)
\item[handle] Used internally; not for public consumption
}
\end{Section}
\begin{Section}{Slots}
\describe{
\item[\code{handle}:] Object of class \code{"externalptr", from class "GDALDataset"}, used internally; not for public consumption
}
