Example gallery

In CRAN or offline builds, network-dependent chunks are not evaluated.

This example uses BlueTopo tiles covering New York Harbor. The workflow demonstrates tile discovery, checksum-verified asset retrieval, and file-backed raster access with terra. Raster Attribute Table (RAT) sidecars are retained with the source GeoTIFF assets.
