In raster: Geographic Data Analysis and Modeling

Description

RasterLayer to contour lines. This is a wrapper around contourLines

Usage

rasterToContour(x, maxpixels=100000, ...)

Arguments

x	a RasterLayer object
maxpixels	Maximum number of raster cells to use; this function fails when too many cells are used
...	Any argument that can be passed to contourLines

Details

Most of the code was taken from maptools::ContourLines2SLDF, by Roger Bivand & Edzer Pebesma

Value

SpatialLinesDataFrame

Examples

f <- system.file("external/test.grd", package="raster")
r <- raster(f)
x <- rasterToContour(r)
class(x)
plot(r)
plot(x, add=TRUE)

Example output

Loading required package: sp
[1] "SpatialLinesDataFrame"
attr(,"package")
[1] "sp"
