gdalcubes_selection {gdalcubes}

Subsetting data cubes

Description

Subset data cube dimensions and bands / variables.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'cube'
x$name

## S3 method for class 'cube'
x[ib = TRUE, it = TRUE, iy = TRUE, ix = TRUE, ...]

Arguments

x

source data cube

name

character; name of selected band

ib

first selector (optional), object of type character, list, Date, POSIXt, numeric, st_bbox, or st_sfc, see Details and examples

it

second selector (optional), see ib

iy

third selector (optional), see ib

ix

fourth selector (optional), see ib

...

further arguments, not used

Details

The [] operator allows for flexible subsetting of data cubes by date, datetime, bounding box, spatial points, and band names. Depending on the arguments, it supports slicing (selecting one element of a dimension), cropping (selecting a subinterval of a dimension) and combinations thereof (e.g., selecting a spatial window and a temporal slice). Dimension subsets can be specified by integer indexes or coordinates / datetime values. Arguments are matched by type and order. For example, if the first argument is a length-two vector of type Date, the function will understand to subset the time dimension. Otherwise, arguments are treated in the order band, time, y, x.

Note

This function returns a proxy object, i.e., it will not start any computations besides deriving the shape of the result.
