vrt_get_meta: Get metadata from vrt
In EvolEcolGroup/pastclim: Manipulate Time Series of Palaeoclimate Reconstructions
vrt_get_meta R Documentation
Get metadata from vrt
Description
This function extract metadata information from a vrt. It returns the description
for the whole dataset (needed to set the varname in the raster) and time
information for each band. It first checks
that the vrt dataset has a metadata element with key "pastclim_time_bp" set to TRUE. If that
is the case, for each band, it extract the metadata with key "time" and returns
them as numeric (i.e. converting them from character).
Note that an error is returned if there are duplicated time elements for any of the
bands (whilst duplicated elements are valid in the XML schema for VRT, they do
not make sense for the time axis).
Usage
vrt_get_meta(vrt_path)
Arguments
vrt_path
path to the XML file defining the vrt dataset
Value
list of three elements: vector description and time_bp defining
each band, and a boolean time_bp show determining whether times should be given
as time_bp when labelling bands by terra
