st_geotransform function

get or set the geotransform, or rotation matrix

st_geotransform(x, ...)

st_geotransform(x) <- value

## S3 replacement method for class 'stars'
st_geotransform(x) <- value

Arguments

• x: object of class stars or dimensions
• ...: ignored
• value: length 6 numeric vector, or 2 x 2 (scaled) rotation matrix

Examples

# using the "classical" rotation matrix, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix :
rot = function(theta, dxdy = c(1., -1.)) {
   th = theta / 180 * pi
   matrix(c(cos(th), sin(th), -sin(th), cos(th)), 2, 2) %*% 
                   matrix(c(dxdy[2], 0, 0, dxdy[1]), 2, 2)
}
l = st_downsample(st_as_stars(L7_ETMs), 9) # save time in plotting
st_geotransform(l) = rot(20, c(28.5, 28.5)) # clockwise, 20 degrees, scale by cell size
plot(l[,,,1])
m = rot(20, c(1, 2))
g = expand.grid(x = 0:4, y = 0:4)
plot(g[1:2], asp = 1)
text(g[,1], g[,2], labels = seq_along(g[,1]), pos = 4)
g = t(m %*% t(as.matrix(g)))
points(g, col = 'red')
text(g[,1], g[,2], labels = seq_along(g[,1]), pos = 4, col = 'red')

m = matrix(1:20, 4)
s0 = st_as_stars(m)
s = s0
# dy > 0, clockwise rotation:
st_geotransform(s) = rot(10, c(1,1))
plot(s0, reset = FALSE)
plot(s, add = TRUE)
# dy < 0, counter clockwise rotation, + expansion in x-direction:
layout(1)
s0 = st_as_stars(st_bbox(s0), dx = 1)
s0$values = 1:20
s0
plot(s0, reset = FALSE)
s = s0
st_geotransform(s) = rot(10, c(2,1))
plot(s, add = TRUE)
