SpatialGridDataFrame-class {sp} | R Documentation

## Class "SpatialGridDataFrame"

### Description

Class for spatial attributes that have spatial locations on a (full) regular grid.

### Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form `as(x, "SpatialGridDataFrame")`, where `x` is of class SpatialPixelsDataFrame-class, or by importing through rgdal. Ordered full grids are stored instead or unordered non-NA cells;

### Slots

`grid`:

  see GridTopology-class; grid parameters

`bbox`:

  Object of class `"matrix"`; bounding box

`proj4string`:

  Object of class `"CRS"`; projection

`data`:

  Object of class data.frame, containing attribute data

### Extends

Class `"SpatialGrid"`, directly. Class `"Spatial"`, by class `"SpatialGrid"`.

### Methods

coordinates

  `signature(x = "SpatialGridDataFrame")`: retrieves (and calculates!) coordinates

[

  `signature(x = "SpatialGridDataFrame")`: selects rows, columns, and attributes; returns an object of class `SpatialGridDataFrame`

as.matrix

  `signature(x = "SpatialGridDataFrame")`: coerce to matrix; increasing col index corresponds to decreasing y coordinate, row index increases with coordinate index

as.array

  `signature(x = "SpatialGridDataFrame")`: coerce to array; increasing array index for the second dimension corresponds to decreasing coordinates, all other coordinate dimensions increase with array index

cbind

  `signature(...)`: if arguments have identical topology, combine their attribute values

### Plot method arguments

The plot methods for “SpatialPixelsDataFrame” or “SpatialGridDataFrame” objects take the following arguments:

x

  object of class SpatialPixelsDataFrame or SpatialGridDataFrame

...

  arguments passed on to image.SpatialGridDataFrame

attr

  integer or character, indicating the attribute variable to be plotted; default 1

col

  color ramp to be used; default `bpy.colors(100)` for continuous, or `RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(nlevels(x[[1]]), "Set2")` for factor variables

breaks

  for continous attributes: values at which color breaks should take place

zlim

  for continuous attributes: numeric of length 2, specifying the range of attribute values to be plotted; default to data range `range(as.numeric(x[[attr]])[is.finite(x[[attr]])])`

axes

  logical: draw x and y axes? default `FALSE`

xaxs

  character, default "i", see par

yaxs

  character, default equal to `xaxs`, see par

at

  numeric or NULL, values at which axis tics and labes should be drawn; default NULL (use pretty)

border

  color, to be used for drawing grid lines; default NA (don't draw grid lines)

axis.pos

  integer, 1-4; default 4, see axis

add.axis

  logical: draw axis along scale? default `TRUE`

what

  what to draw: `"image"`, `"scale"`, or `"both"`; default "both"

scale.size

  size for the scale bar; use lcm to specify in absolute size, or a numeric value such as `1/6` to specify relative size; default `lcm(2.8)`

scale.shrink

  non-negative numeric indicating the amount to shrink the scale length, default 0

scale.frac

  for categorical attributes: numeric between 0 and 1, indicating the scale width, default 0.3

scale.n

  for categorical attributes: integer, indicating how many scale categories should fill a complete width; default 15

### Examples

    data(meuse.grid) # only the non-missing valued cells
    coordinates(meuse.grid) = c("x", "y") # promote to SpatialPointsDataFrame
    gridded(meuse.grid) <- TRUE # promote to SpatialPixelsDataFrame
    x = as(meuse.grid, "SpatialGridDataFrame") # creates the full grid
    x[["idist"]] = 1 - x[["dist"]] # assigns new attribute
    image(x["idist"]) # note the single [ for attribute selection

    # toy example:
    df = data.frame(z = c(1:6,NA,8,9),
        xc = c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3),
        yc = c(rep(c(0, 1.5, 3),3)))
    coordinates(df) = ~xc+yc
    gridded(df) = TRUE
    df = as(df, "SpatialGridDataFrame") # to full grid
    image(df["z"])
    # draw labels to verify:
    cc = coordinates(df)
    z=df[["z"]]
    zc=as.character(z)
    zc[is.na(zc)]="NA"
    text(cc[,1],cc[,2],zc)

    # the following is weird, but illustrates the concept of row/col selection:
    fullgrid(meuse.grid) = TRUE
    image(meuse.grid)
    image(meuse.grid[20:70, 10:70, "dist"], add = TRUE, col = bpy.colors())

    # as.matrix, as.array
    sgdim = c(3,4)
    SG = SpatialGrid(GridTopology(rep(0,2), rep(10,2), sgdim))
    SGDF = SpatialGridDataFrame(SG, data.frame(val = 1:12))
    as.array(SGDF)
    as.matrix(SGDF)
    as(SGDF, "array")
