rasterFromCells

Subset a raster by cell numbers

Description

This function returns a new raster based on an existing raster and cell numbers for that raster. The new raster is cropped to the cell numbers provided, and, if values=TRUE has values that are the cell numbers of the original raster.

Usage

rasterFromCells(x, cells, values=TRUE)

Arguments

`x`	Raster* object (or a SpatialPixels* or SpatialGrid* object)
`cells`	vector of cell numbers
`values`	Logical. If `TRUE`, the new RasterLayer has cell values that correspond to the cell numbers of `x`

Details

Cell numbers start at 1 in the upper left corner, and increase from left to right, and then from top to bottom. The last cell number equals the number of cells of the Raster* object.

Value

RasterLayer

Examples

r <- raster(ncols=100, nrows=100)
cells <- c(3:5, 210)
r <- rasterFromCells(r, cells)
cbind(1:ncell(r), getValues(r))
