spatial_crop function

Crop extent of spatial data.

The function crops the spatial extent of raster objects or other spatial objects based on bounding box coordinates.

spatial_crop(data, bbox)

Arguments

• data: raster object, spatial data set to be processed.
• bbox: Numeric vector of length four, bounding box coordinates in the form c(xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)

Returns

spatial object, cropped to bounding box

Examples

## create example data set
x <- terra::rast(nrows = 100, ncols = 100, 
                 xmin = 0, xmax = 10, 
                 ymin = 0, ymax = 10)
terra::values(x) <- 1:10000

## create crop extent vector
bbox <- c(3, 7, 3, 7)

## crop spatial object
y <- spatial_crop(data = x, 
                  bbox = bbox)

## plot both objects
terra::plot(x)
terra::plot(y, add = TRUE)
