read.DeponsRaster: Reading DEPONS raster files

In jacobnabe/DEPONS2R: Read, Plot and Analyse Output from the DEPONS Model

Reading DEPONS raster files

Description

Function for reading raster files that have been used in DEPONS simulations. DEPONS rasters define amount of food available for simulated animals, spatial distribution of food patches, bathymetry, and distance to coast (dtc). The 'blocks' raster enables the user to count animals in specific parts of the landscape during simulations. See Nabe-Nielsen et al. (2018) for details regarding these files. In DEPONS 2.0 the salinity raster file was introduced; see TRACE document for details: https://github.com/jacobnabe/DEPONS

Usage

read.DeponsRaster(fname, type = "NA", landscape = "NA", crs = "NA")

Arguments

fname	Filename (character), including the path to the DEPONS raster file.
type	The kind of data stored in the raster; c('food', 'patches', 'bathymetry', 'dtc', 'salinity', 'blocks').
landscape	Identifier for the landscape used in the DEPONS simulations; typically set to 'North Sea'.
crs	CRS-object providing the map projection (see CRS).

Value

Returns a DeponsRaster object. The object inherits slots from the "RasterLayer" class, including "title", which is used for storing the file name.
