classRaster_as.matrix: Convert raster image to a matrix
In ursa: Non-Interactive Spatial Tools for Raster Processing and Visualization

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

as.matrix(coords=TRUE) prepares a list from the first band of ursaRaster, which is suitable as input parameter for functions image, contour and filled.contour.

## S3 method for class 'ursaRaster'
as.matrix(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'ursaRaster'
x[[i]]

x

Object of class ursaRaster

...

Set of argumetns, which are recognized via their names (using regular expressions) and classes.

(coord(s)*|crd|^$): Logical If TRUE then list is created with x, y, z components, where component $z contains matrix, components $x and $y are coordinates for elements if matrix.

i

Positive integer or character of lentg. If integer, then band index. If character, then band name. If missing, then first band (value 1L) is used.

Item colortable is mainly for internal usage, e. g., for mapping. Item proj is useful for convertion back to ursaRaster object by calling as.ursa function.

Extract operator x[[i]] is a wrapper for as.matrix(x[i],coords=TRUE)

Depending of argument coords.

If coords=FALSE, then it is a two-dimensional matrix c(samples*lines, bands), unclassed from ursaValue class.

If coords=TRUE, then it is a list:

`x`	Numeric. Midpoints of cells on horizontal axis
`y`	Numeric. Midpoints of cells on vertical axis
`z`	Numeric. Matrix of values
`attr(*,"proj")`	PROJ.4 string for grid, defined by `x` and `y`
`attr(*,"colortable")`	Optional. Object of class `ursaColorTable`. Missing if raster has no color table.
