getValues returns all values or the values for a number of rows of a Raster* object. Values returned for a RasterLayer are a vector. The values returned for a RasterStack or RasterBrick are always a matrix, with the rows representing cells, and the columns representing layers
values is a shorthand version of getValues (for all rows).
