redim: Complete missing dimensions of Grid objects

In SantanderMetGroup/transformeR: A climate4R package for general climate data manipulation and transformation

Complete missing dimensions of Grid objects

Description

Add missing dimensions to the 'Data' array as singletons. For internal usage mainly.

Usage

redim(
  grid,
  member = TRUE,
  runtime = FALSE,
  var = FALSE,
  time = TRUE,
  loc = FALSE,
  drop = FALSE
)

Arguments

member	logical. Add 'member' dimension (default = TRUE)
runtime	logical. Add 'runtime' dimension (default = FALSE)
var	logical. Add 'var' dimension (default = FALSE)
loc	logical. Only if obj is a stations dataset. If TRUE, the "loc" dimension is not replaced by fake "lat" and "lon" dimensions (default is FALSE).
drop	logical. Drop dimensions of length = 1 (default = FALSE)
obj	A regular or irregular (e.g. station data) grid

Details

The function does not handle multigrids (i.e. "var" dimension). Thus, multigrids need to be subsetted along "var" prior to redimensioning via subsetGrid.

Value

The same object with all the dimensions (i.e. member, time, loc)

Examples

require(climate4R.datasets)
data("EOBS_Iberia_tas")
getShape(EOBS_Iberia_tas)
a <- redim(EOBS_Iberia_tas)
getShape(a)
b <- redim(EOBS_Iberia_tas, var = TRUE)
getShape(b)
# This one is probably never needed, but for illustration:
y <- redim(EOBS_Iberia_tas, member = FALSE, var = TRUE)
getShape(y)
# 'drop = TRUE' performs the reverse operation:
z <- redim(b, drop = TRUE)
getShape(z)

# Example with station data
data("VALUE_Iberia_pr")
getShape(VALUE_Iberia_pr)
# By default, the internal data array is converted to the time.lat-lon structure.
# This is a conveninet behaviour for internal usage:
getShape(redim(VALUE_Iberia_pr, member = TRUE))
# Use the argument 'loc=TRUE' to avoid this behaviour:
getShape(redim(VALUE_Iberia_pr, member = TRUE, loc = TRUE))
