rast.grad {ctmcmove}R Documentation

Creates gradient rasters from a raster object.

Description

This function takes a raster stack or raster object and creates two matrices for each raster layer, one which contains the x coordinates of the gradient of the raster layer and one which contains the y coordinates of the gradient of the raster layer.

Usage

rast.grad(rasterstack)

Arguments

rasterstack

A raster layer or raster stack from package "raster".

Details

The gradient is computed using the "terrain" function in raster.

Value

xy

A matrix of x and y coordinates of each cell in the raster stack or raster layer. The order is the order of the cells in the raster object.

grad.x

a matrix where each column is the x-coordinates of the gradient for one raster layer

grad.y

a matrix where each column is the y-coordinates of the gradient for one raster layer

rast.grad.x

A raster stack where each raster layer is the x-coordinates of the gradient for one covariate

rast.grad.y

A raster stack where each raster layer is the x-coordinates of the gradient for one covariate
