crop_global_tif: crop_global_tif

Description Usage Arguments Value Note

Description

There are no worldpop data for Europe, but the EC Joint Research Centre Data Catalogue offers 250m resolution global population density tif files. These are huge, and presumed to be downloaded into the root directory of this project. This function crops them to designated cities (actuall only Bristol at present) and deposits the results in the appropriate [city]/popdens directory.

Usage

1
crop_global_tif(city = "bristol", expand = 0.1)

Arguments

city

Name of city (one of "accra", "kathmandu", or "bristol")

expand

Relative factor by which to expand cropping limits beyond rectangular bounding box of city

Value

Nothing Files are written to the corresponding directories

Note

This should be run from somewhere within the whodata repository structure; anywhere else will likely fail. It also takes a r-e-a-l-l-y long time because of the raster re-projection.
