genStack: Create Raster Stack

In rLakeHabitat: Interpolate Bathymetry and Quantify Physical Aquatic Habitat

Create Raster Stack

Description

Create a raster stack from a single raster, option to save as file.

Usage

genStack(
  DEM,
  by = 1,
  stop = NULL,
  save = TRUE,
  file_name = NULL,
  file_type = "COG"
)

Arguments

DEM	raster object
by	numeric increment per unit depth by which layers are split. Default = 1
stop	optional numeric value specifying depth at which to stop stacking rasters, default = NULL
save	logical, save raster stack (TRUE) or not (FALSE), default = TRUE
file_name	character string used to name saved raster stack
file_type	character string defining file type to save, default = "COG"

Value

a raster stack of specified depth increments for a given waterbody. Raster stack is either stored as an object (save = FALSE) or written to a file in the directory (save = TRUE).
