density function

Density plot

Create density plots of values in a Raster object methods

## S4 method for signature 'Raster'
density(x, layer, maxpixels=100000, plot=TRUE, main, ...)

Arguments

• x: Raster object
• layer: numeric. Can be used to subset the layers to plot in a multilayer object (RasterBrick or RasterStack)
• maxpixels: the maximum number of (randomly sampled) cells to be used for creating the plot
• plot: if TRUE produce a plot, else return a density object
• main: main title for each plot (can be missing)
• ...: Additional arguments passed to base plot

Returns

density plot (and a density object, returned invisibly if plot=TRUE)

Examples

logo <- stack(system.file("external/rlogo.grd", package="raster")) 
density(logo)
