SpatialGridDataFrame: define spatial grid with attribute data

In sp: Classes and Methods for Spatial Data

define spatial grid with attribute data

Description

defines spatial grid by offset, cell size and dimensions

Usage

SpatialPixelsDataFrame(points, data, tolerance = sqrt(.Machine$double.eps), 
		proj4string = CRS(as.character(NA)), round = NULL, grid = NULL)
SpatialGridDataFrame(grid, data, proj4string = CRS(as.character(NA)))

Arguments

points	coordinates, either as numeric matrix or as object of class SpatialPoints-class
grid	grid topology; object of class GridTopology-class; for calls to SpatialPixelsDataFrame a value of NULL implies that this will be derived from the point coordinates
data	data.frame; contains the attribute (actual grid) data
tolerance	precision up to which extent points should be exactly on a grid
round	default NULL, otherwise a value passed to as the digits argument to round for setting cell size
proj4string	object of class CRS-class in the first form only used when points does not inherit from Spatial-class

Value

SpatialPixelsDataFrame returns an object of class SpatialPixelsDataFrame-class; SpatialGridDataFrame returns an object of class SpatialGridDataFrame-class.

Note

SpatialPixels stores grid topology and coordinates of the actual points, which may be in the form of a subset (set of pixels) of a full grid. To find out or change this, see fullgrid and SpatialGrid-class.
