Remove parts of a GRaster or GVector

crop() removes parts of a GRaster or GVector that fall "outside" another raster or vector. You cannot make the GRaster or GVector larger than it already is (see extend()). Rasters may not be cropped to the exact extent, as the extent will be enlarged to encompass an integer number of cells. If you wish to remove certain cells of a raster, see mask().

Usage

# S4 method for class 'GRaster'
crop(x, y, fail = TRUE)

# S4 method for class 'GVector'
crop(x, y, extent = FALSE, fail = TRUE)

Arguments

x

A GRaster or GVector to be cropped.

y

A GRaster or GVector to serve as a template for cropping.

fail

Logical: If TRUE (default), and the cropped object would have zero extent in at least one dimension, then exit the function with an error. If FALSE, then display a warning and return NULL.

extent

Logical:

If y is a "points" GVector: Use the convex hull around y to crop x.
If y is a "lines" or "polygons" GVector: If TRUE, use the extent of y to crop x.
if y is a GVector, x will be cropped to the extent of y (extent is ignored).

Value

A GRaster or GVector (or NULL if fail is FALSE and the output would have a zero east-west and/or north-south extent).

Details

Known differences from terra::crop():

If x and y are "points" vectors, and extent is TRUE, terra removes points that fall on the extent boundary. fasterRaster does not remove points on the extent boundary.
If x is a "points" vector and y is a "lines" vectors, and extent is FALSE, terra uses the extent of y to crop the points. fasterRaster uses the minimum convex hull of the lines vector.
