ObsLulcRasterStack {lulcc}

Create an ObsLulcRasterStack object

Description

Methods to create an ObsLulcRasterStack object, which may be created from file, an existing Raster* object or a list of Raster* objects.

Usage

ObsLulcRasterStack(x, pattern, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'missing,character'
ObsLulcRasterStack(x, pattern, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'character,character'
ObsLulcRasterStack(x, pattern, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'list,character'
ObsLulcRasterStack(x, pattern, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'RasterLayer,ANY'
ObsLulcRasterStack(x, pattern, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'RasterStack,ANY'
ObsLulcRasterStack(x, pattern, categories, labels,
  t)

Arguments

x

path (character), Raster* object or list of Raster* objects. Default behaviour is to search for files in the working directory

pattern

regular expression (character). Only filenames (if x is a path) or Raster* objects (if x is a list) matching the regular expression will be returned. See
raster::raster for more information about supported filetypes

...

additional arguments to raster::stack

categories

numeric vector of land use categories in observed maps

labels

character vector (optional) with labels corresponding to categories

t

numeric vector containing the timestep of each observed map. The first timestep must be 0

Details

Observed land use maps should have the same extent and resolution. The location of non-NA cells in ObsLulcRasterStack objects defines the region for subsequent analysis.

Value

An ObsLulcRasterStack object.
