select_time {gdalcubes}

Select time slices of a data cube

Description

Create a proxy data cube, which selects specific time slices of a data cube. The time dimension of the resulting cube will be irregular / labeled.

Usage

select_time(cube, t)

Arguments

cube

source data cube

t

character vector with date/time

Value

proxy data cube object

Note

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

Examples

# create image collection from example Landsat data only 
# if not already done in other examples
