promoteToRaster: Convert to Raster

In MagicForrest/DGVMTools: DGVM Processing, Analysis and Plotting Tools

Convert to Raster

Description

Converts a Field, Comparison or data.table to a Raster object, also subsetting the requested layers. This is generally called in the as.Raster and the setAs functions but can be useful in and of itself.

Usage

promoteToRaster(
  input.data,
  layers = "all",
  tolerance = 0.01,
  grid.topology = NULL
)

Arguments

input.data	Field, Comparison or data.table
layers	The columns to be selected included in the final Raster* object. Use NULL or "all" if all layers are required.
tolerance	Tolerance (in fraction of gridcell size) for unevenly spaced Lon and Lats, when converting gridded table to a raster.
grid.topology	A character string defining the grid topology when going from a table to raster, used in a call to SpatialPixels

Value

A RasterLayer (or RasterBrick)
