Arguments

x

Raster* object

layer

integer (or character) to indicate layer number (or name). Can be used to subset the layers to plot in a multilayer Raster* object

maxpixels

integer. To regularly subsample very large objects

plot

logical. Plot the histogram or only return the histogram values

main

character. Main title(s) for the plot. Default is the value of names
