is.bool: Raster value types

is.boolR Documentation

Raster value types

Description

The values in a SpatRaster layer are by default numeric, but they can also be set to be logical (Boolean), integer, or categorical (factor).

For a SpatRaster, as.logical and isTRUE is equivalent to as.bool. isFALSE is equivalent to !as.bool, and as.integer is the same as as.int.

as.bool and as.int force the values into the correct range (e.g. whole integers) but in-memory cell values are still stored as numeric. They will behave like the assigned types, though, and will be written to files with that data type (if the file type supports it).

See levels and cats to create categorical layers by setting labels.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster'
is.bool(x)

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster'
as.bool(x, filename, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster'
is.int(x)

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster'
as.int(x, filename, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster'
is.factor(x)

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster'
as.factor(x)

Arguments

x

SpatRaster

filename

character. Output filename

...

list with named options for writing files as in writeRaster

Value

The as.* methods return a new SpatRaster, whereas the is.* methods return a logical value for each layer in x.

Examples

r <- rast(nrows=10, ncols=10, vals=1:100)
is.bool(r)
z <- as.bool(r)
is.bool(z)

x <- r > 25
is.bool(x)

rr <- r/2
is.int(rr)
is.int(round(rr))
