Convert a Raster* object into a worldMatrix or worldArray object

Convert a RasterLayer object into a worldMatrix object or a RasterStack object into a worldArray object.

raster2world(raster)

# S4 method for RasterLayer
raster2world(raster)

# S4 method for RasterStack
raster2world(raster)

Arguments

raster

RasterLayer or RasterStack object.

Value

WorldMatrix or worldArray object depending on the input raster. Patches value are retained from the raster.

Details

See help("worldMatrix-class") or help("worldArray-class") for more details on the classes.

     The number of rows and columns, as well as the cell values of the `raster`
     are kept the same. However, to match the coordinates system and resolution of a
     `worldMatrix` or `worldArray`, the grid is shifted by a 1/2 cell to have
     round coordinate values at the center of the patches and patch size is equal to (1,1).
     The bottom left corner cell coordinates of the `worldMatrix` or `worldArray`
     will be (pxcor = 0, pycor = 0).

Examples

r1 <- raster(extent(c(0, 10, 0, 10)), nrows = 10, ncols = 10)
r1[]<-runif(100)
w1 <- raster2world(r1)
plot(r1)

plot(w1)
