dg_closest_res: Determine an appropriate grid resolution based on input data.

In dggridR: Discrete Global Grids

Determine an appropriate grid resolution based on input data.

Description

This is a generic function that is used to determine an appropriate resolution given an area, cell spacing, or correlated length scale. It does so by extracting the appropriate length/area column and searching it for a value close to the input.

Usage

dg_closest_res(
  dggs,
  col,
  val,
  round = "nearest",
  show_info = TRUE,
  metric = TRUE
)

Arguments

dggs	A dggs object from dgconstruct()
col	Column in which to search for a close value. Should be: area_km, spacing_km, or cls_km.
val	The value to search for
round	What direction to search in. Must be nearest, up, or down.
show_info	Print the area, spacing, and CLS of the chosen resolution.
metric	Whether input and output should be in metric (TRUE) or imperial (FALSE)

Value

A number representing the grid resolution

Examples

library(dggridR)
dggs <- dgconstruct(res=20)
res  <- dg_closest_res(dggs,'area_km',1)
dggs <- dgsetres(dggs,res)
