linearUnits function

Linear units of the coordinate reference system

Get the linear units of the coordinate reference system (crs) of a SpatRaster or SpatVector expressed in m. The value returned is used internally to transform area and perimeter measures to meters. The value returned for longitude/latitude crs is zero.

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster'
