Create longitude/latitude rasters

longlat() creates two rasters, one with cell values equal to the longitude of the cell centers, and one with cell values equal to the latitude of the cell centers.

Usage

# S4 method for class 'GRaster'
longlat(x, degrees = TRUE)

Arguments

x

A GRaster.

degrees

Logical: If TRUE (default), coordinate values of cells will be in degrees. If FALSE, and x is in a projected coordinate reference system, values will represent coordinates in map units (usually meters). Values will always be in degrees when the coordinate reference system is unprojected (e.g., WGS84, NAD83, etc.).

Value

A GRaster stack.

Examples

if (grassStarted()) {

# Setup
library(terra)

# Example data
madElev <- fastData("madElev")

# Convert a SpatRaster to a GRaster
elev <- fast(madElev)

# Create longitude/latitude rasters
ll <- longlat(elev)
ll # note units of cell values!
