Helper to create a grid of regular resolution and CRS

Description

Use this function to create a regular grid in a custom CRS. This is used e.g. to create the tile grid for Global Forest Watch in order to retrieve the intersecting tiles with a given portfolio.

Usage

make_global_grid(
  xmin = -180,
  xmax = 170,
  dx = 10,
  ymin = -50,
  ymax = 80,
  dy = 10,
  proj = NULL
)

Arguments

xmin	minimum longitude value (E/W)
xmax	maximum longitude value (E/W)
dx	difference in longitude value per grid
ymin	minimum latitude value (S/N)
ymax	maximum latitude value (E/W)
dy	difference in latitude value per grid
proj	projection system

Value

An sf object with a defined grid.
