sds: Create a SpatRasterDataset

Description

Methods to create a SpatRasterDataset. This is an object to hold "sub-datasets", each a SpatRaster that in most cases will have multiple layers.

See describe for getting information about the sub-datasets present in a file.

Usage

# S4 method for missing
sds(x) 
# S4 method for character
sds(x, ids=0)
# S4 method for SpatRaster
sds(x, ...) 
# S4 method for list
sds(x) 
# S4 method for array
sds(x, crs="", extent=NULL)

Arguments

x

character (filename), or SpatRaster, or list of SpatRaster objects, or missing. If multiple filenames are provided, it is attempted to make SpatRasters from these, and combine them into a SpatRasterDataset

ids

optional. vector of integer subdataset ids. Ignored if the first value is not a positive integer

crs

character. Description of the Coordinate Reference System (map projection) in PROJ.4, WKT or authority:code notation. If this argument is missing, and the x coordinates are within -360 .. 360 and the y coordinates are within -90 .. 90, longitude/latitude is assigned

extent

SpatExtent

...

additional SpatRaster objects

Value

SpatRasterDataset

Examples

# NOT RUN {
s <- rast(system.file("ex/logo.tif", package="terra"))   
x <- sds(s, s/2)
names(x) <- c("first", "second")
x
length(x)

# extract the second SpatRaster
x[2]

a <- array(1:9, c(3,3,3,3))
sds(a)
# }
