clipLevel2BGeometry: Clip GEDI Level2B data by geometry

In rGEDI: NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) Data Visualization and Processing

Description

This function extracts GEDI Level1B data within a given geometry

Usage

clipLevel2BGeometry(level2b, polygon_spdf, output = "", split_by = NULL)

Arguments

level2b	A GEDI Level2B object (output of readLevel2B function). An S4 object of class "gedi.level2b".
polygon_spdf	Polygon. An object of class SpatialPolygonsDataFrame-class, which can be loaded as an ESRI shapefile using raster::shapefile() function in the raster package.
output	optional character path where to save the new h5file. Default "" (temporary file).
split_by	Polygon id. If defined, GEDI data will be clipped by each polygon using the attribute specified by split_by from the attribute table.

Value

Returns a list of S4 objects of class "gedi.level2b" containing clipped GEDI Level2B data.
