Delete objects in the active GRASS session

Source: R/rm.r
rm.Rd

Delete the names of all rasters and/or vectors that have been exported to or created in the active GRASS session's location and mapset.

Usage

.rm(x, type = NULL, warn = TRUE, verify = TRUE)

Arguments

x

Character, a GSpatial object, or missing (default):

  • Character:

    • Any of "rasters" (all rasters), "vectors" (all spatial vectors), "rasters3d" (3D-rasters), and/or "groups" (groups), and all of these types will be deleted. Partial matching is supported.

    • The sources of the object to be deleted. Argument type must be specified.

  • GSpatial object (i.e., a GRaster or GVector): Delete this object.

  • Missing: Delete everything in the active GRASS session.

type

The type of spatial objects to delete. This can include "rasters" (all rasters), "vectors" (all spatial vectors), "rasters3d" (3D-rasters), and/or "groups" (groups). Partial matching is supported. If missing, all objects are candidates for deletion if they match x.

warn

Logical: If TRUE (default), display warning if no matches or if everything in GRASS is to be deleted.

verify

Logical: If TRUE (default), the function will search for the item(s) to be deleted first to verify they exist. If this is FALSE, then x MUST be specified and type must be 'raster' or 'vector' (one value per value in x). This has no effect if x is a GSpatial object. It's main use is to save a bit of time.

Value

TRUE (invisibly).
