raster2magpie: Convert raster data to MAgPIE object

In pik-piam/geodata: Landuse geodata library

Description

Raster data (layers, bricks or stacks) from the raster package is converted to a MAgPIE object. In the case of bricks and stacks different data dimensions are created for the different layers. Data should be in lat/long with a 0.5x0.5 degree resolution, and have at least the extent of MAgPIE data (-180,180,-56,83.5)

Usage

raster2magpie(x, detect_years=TRUE)

Arguments

x	A raster object
detect_years	The function can try to detect years (4 digit numbers) in the names of the raster, and use them as the temporal dimension

Value

A MAgPIE object with the data of the raster at the geographic center of each MAgIE cell
