getValuesBlock: Get a block of raster cell values

In rspatial/raster: Geographic Data Analysis and Modeling

Get a block of raster cell values

Description

getValuesBlock returns values for a block (rectangular area) of values of a Raster* object.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'RasterLayer'
getValuesBlock(x, row=1, nrows=1, col=1, ncols=(ncol(x)-col+1), format='', ...)

## S4 method for signature 'RasterBrick'
getValuesBlock(x, row=1, nrows=1, col=1, ncols=(ncol(x)-col+1), lyrs, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'RasterStack'
getValuesBlock(x, row=1, nrows=1, col=1, ncols=(ncol(x)-col+1), lyrs, ...)

Arguments

x	Raster* object
row	positive integer. Row number to start from, should be between 1 and nrow(x)
nrows	positive integer. How many rows? Default is 1
col	positive integer. Column number to start from, should be between 1 and ncol(x)
ncols	positive integer. How many columns? Default is the number of columns left after the start column
format	character. When x is a RasterLayer, if format='matrix' or format='m', a matrix is returned instead of a vector. If format='matrix', it is a nrow x ncol matrix. If format='m' it is a 1 column matrix (the benefit is that the type of output is now the same for all Raster objects)
lyrs	integer (vector). Which layers? Default is all layers (1:nlayers(x))
...	additional arguments (none implemented)

Value

matrix or vector (if (x=RasterLayer), unless format='matrix')

Examples

r <- raster(system.file("external/test.grd", package="raster"))
b <- getValuesBlock(r, row=100, nrows=3, col=10, ncols=5)
b 
b <- matrix(b, nrow=3, ncol=5, byrow=TRUE)
b

logo <- brick(system.file("external/rlogo.grd", package="raster"))
getValuesBlock(logo, row=35, nrows=3, col=50, ncols=3, lyrs=2:3)
