Description Usage Arguments Author(s) See Also Examples

Extracts a pre-defined region from '.gz'-file and saves subset as a new '.gz'-file (gzip compressed format). Basically it represents a combined call of regions, crop, raster2matrix and writebin.

1	area_extrac(obj,area)

`obj`	Character string indicating search criteria for `'.gz'`-files.
`area`	Character string identifying the region that should be extracted. `area` must be a subregion of the original region defined by the `'.gz'`-file. See region_definitions for area definitions and use add.region to add new regions.

## Example 1: extract, write '.gz'-files, following default plot-procedure
library(raster)

# load sample-'.gz'-file
path <- system.file("test_files", package="oceanmap")
gz.files <- Sys.glob(paste0(path,'/*.gz'))[1] # load sample-'.gz'-files
print(gz.files)
# area_extrac(gz.files[1],area='lion')

# gz <- Sys.glob(path,'/medw4*.gz') # load new-'.gz'-file
# v(gz) # visualize new-'.gz'-file
# system(paste('rm', gz))       
# v(gz.files[1],v_area='lion')
