as.polygons function

Conversion to a SpatVector of polygons

Conversion of a SpatRaster, SpatVector or SpatExtent to a SpatVector of polygons. methods

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster'
as.polygons(x, round=TRUE, aggregate=TRUE, values=TRUE,
                na.rm=TRUE, na.all=FALSE, extent=FALSE, digits=0, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SpatVector'
as.polygons(x, extent=FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'SpatExtent'
as.polygons(x, crs="")

Arguments

• x: SpatRaster, SpatVector or SpatExtent
• round: logical; If TRUE and aggregate=TRUE, values are rounded before aggregation. If this value is FALSE the SpatVector returned can have very many polygons and can be very large
• aggregate: logical; combine cells with the same values? If TRUE only the first layer in x is processed
• values: logical; include cell values as attributes?
• extent: logical. if TRUE, a polygon for the extent of the SpatRaster or SpatVector is returned. If x is a SpatRaster, the polygon has vertices for each row and column, not just the four corners of the raster. This can be useful for more precise projection. If that is not required, it is more efficient to get the extent represented by only the four corners with as.polygons(ext(x), crs=crs(x))
• na.rm: logical. If TRUE cells that are NA are ignored
• na.all: logical. If TRUE cells are only ignored if na.rm=TRUE and their value is NA for all layers instead of for any layer
• digits: integer. The number of digits for rounding (if round=TRUE)
• crs: character. The coordinate reference system (see crs)
• ...: additional arguments. For backward compatibility. Will be removed in the future

Returns

SpatVector
