In stars: Spatiotemporal Arrays, Raster and Vector Data Cubes

get the raster type (if any) of a stars object

Description

get the raster type (if any) of a stars object

Usage

st_raster_type(x, dimension = character(0))

Arguments

x	object of class stars
dimension	optional: numbers or names of dimension(s) to get per-dimension type

Details

categories "curvilinear" and "affine" only refer to the relationship between a pair of spatial (raster) dimensions.

Value

if dimension is not specified, return the spatial raster type: one of NA (if the object does not have raster dimensions), "curvilinear", "rectilinear", "affine", or "regular". In case dimension(s) are specified, return one of "regular", "rectilinear" (irregular but numeric), or "discrete" (anything else).

Examples

tif = system.file("tif/L7_ETMs.tif", package = "stars")
x = read_stars(tif)
st_raster_type(x)
st_raster_type(x, 1:3)
