vaster

R-CMD-check

The goal of vaster is to provide grid logic without complication added by data and format details.

Installation

You can install the development version of vaster from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("hypertidy/vaster")

See?

library(vaster)
set.seed(1)
x <- c(sort(runif(2, -20, 160)), sort(runif(2, -80, 10)))
names(x) <- c("xmin", "xmax", "ymin", "ymax")
print(x)
#>       xmin       xmax       ymin       ymax 
#>  27.791559  46.982302 -28.443197   1.738701
## all we need is a extent and dimension, we want to align to that grid
v <- vcrop(x,  c(360, 180) /3, extent = c(-180, 180, -90, 90))
plot(NA, xlim = v$extent[1:2], ylim = v$extent[3:4], asp = "")
g_along <- function(x, n) seq(x[1], x[2], length.out = n)
abline(v = v$extent[1:2], h = v$extent[3:4], lwd = 2)
abline(v = g_along(v$extent[1:2], v$dimension[1]), h = g_along(v$extent[3:4], v$dimension[2]), col = "grey")

## these points were used to crop the existing grid, they don't define its alignment
points(x[1:2], x[3:4], pch = "+")

All of the helper functions from the raster package are included, and every function is one of dimension, extent (when needed) in that order.

A grid of the world in 9x5 degree squares, we only need the dimension and extent to get the corners in x, y.

ex <- c(-180, 180, -90, 90)
dm <- c(40, 36)

plot_extent(ex)
abline(v = x_corner(dm, ex), h = y_corner(dm, ex))

Now add the centre points.

plot_extent(ex)
points(x_centre(dm, ex), rep(y_centre(dm, ex)[1], length.out = dm[1]))

We only get the margins from x_corner/x_centre so we go to a cell based function.

## how many cells?
cells <- seq_len(prod(dm))
plot_extent(ex)
points(xy_from_cell(dm, ex, cells))

Other functions return cells.

xy <- cbind(runif(50, -180, 180), runif(50, -90, 90))
cells <- cell_from_xy(dm, ex, xy)
plot_extent(ex)
points(xy_from_cell(dm, ex, cells), col = "red")
points(xy, pch = "+")
