isLonLat: Is this longitude/latitude data?

In miraisolutions/raster: Geographic Data Analysis and Modeling

Description

Test whether a Raster* or other object has a longitude/latitude coordinate reference system (CRS) by inspecting the PROJ.4 coordinate reference system description. couldBeLonLat also returns TRUE if the CRS is NA but the x coordinates are within -365 and 365 and the y coordinates are within -90.1 and 90.1.

Usage

isLonLat(x)
couldBeLonLat(x, warnings=TRUE)

Arguments

x	Raster* object
warnings	logical. If TRUE, a warning is given if the CRS is NA or when the CRS is longitude/latitude but the coordinates do not match that

Value

Logical

Examples

r <- raster()
isLonLat(r)
projection(r) <- "+proj=lcc +lat_1=48 +lat_2=33 +lon_0=-100 +ellps=WGS84"
isLonLat(r)
