Grid Cell Identifier

Description

⁠formatGridcell⁠ formats a string as to match a standard. The default format applied in this package is to separate one of the four grid cells (‘Quadrant’) of a grid unit (‘Grundfeld’) with a dash (⁠\dQuote{-}⁠). Function ⁠deparseGridcell⁠ returns the components plus row and column. See floragrid. ⁠dimGridcell⁠ returns the dimension of an ⁠"Background"⁠ object in grid units (rows and column).

Usage

formatGridcell(x, sep = NULL)

deparseGridcell(x, sep = "-", row.width = 2, col.width = 2)

dimGridcell(x)

Arguments

x	Vector to be coerced to character. For ⁠dimGridcell⁠ an object of class ⁠"Background"⁠. For ⁠outer⁠ an ⁠"Extent"⁠ object.
sep	Separator.
row.width	Number of characters defining a row.
col.width	Number of characters defining a column.

Details

The most common use case we find in (private) databases is not to signalize the grid cell with any separating character. The forward slash (⁠\dQuote{/}⁠) is often encountered also. Likewise, some data sets apply the dash (⁠\dQuote{-}⁠) as separator. The function deals with all these forms. The default (⁠split = NULL⁠) handles the case where no seperator is used.

Value

A character.

x1 <- c( 80442  ,  78452  ,  79461  )
x2 <- c("8044-2", "7845-2", "7946-1")
x3 <- c("8044/2", "7845/2", "7946/1")

formatGridcell(x1)
formatGridcell(x2, sep = "-")
formatGridcell(x3, sep = "/")
