checkObject(sim, name, object, layer, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'simList,ANY,ANY'
checkObject(sim, name, object, layer, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'simList,character,missing'
checkObject(sim, name, object, layer, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'missing,ANY,ANY'
checkObject(sim, name, object, layer, ...)

Arguments

sim

A simList() object.

name

A character string specifying the name of an object to be checked.

sim$r <- terra::rast(terra::ext(0,2,0,2), res = 1, vals = 2)
sim$s <- c(sim$r, terra::rast(terra::ext(0,2,0,2), res = 1, vals = 3))
names(sim$s) <- c("r1", "r2") # give layer names
(checkObject(sim, name = "a")) # TRUE
(checkObject(sim, name = "b", layer = "d")) # TRUE
(checkObject(sim, name = "d")) # FALSE
(checkObject(sim, name = "r")) # TRUE
(checkObject(sim, object = sim$s)) # TRUE
(checkObject(sim, object = sim$s, layer = "r1")) # TRUE
