mosaic function

mosaic SpatRasters

Combine adjacent and (partly) overlapping SpatRasters to form a single new SpatRaster. Values in overlapping cells are averaged (by default) or can be computed with another function.

The SpatRasters must have the same origin and spatial resolution.

This method is similar to the simpler, but much faster, merge method. methods

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster,SpatRaster'
mosaic(x, y, ..., fun="mean", filename="", overwrite=FALSE, wopt=list())

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRasterCollection,missing'
mosaic(x, fun="mean", filename="", ...)

Arguments

• x: SpatRaster
• y: object of same class as x
• ...: additional SpatRasters
• fun: character. One of "mean", "median", "min", "max", "modal", "sum", "first", "last"
• filename: character. Output filename
• overwrite: logical. If TRUE, filename is overwritten
• wopt: list with named options for writing files as in writeRaster

Returns

SpatRaster

Examples

x <- rast(xmin=-110, xmax=-60, ymin=40, ymax=70, res=1, vals=1)
y <- rast(xmin=-95, xmax=-45, ymax=60, ymin=30, res=1, vals=2)
z <- rast(xmin=-80, xmax=-30, ymax=50, ymin=20, res=1, vals=3)

m1 <- mosaic(x, y, z)

m2 <- mosaic(z, y, x)

# with many SpatRasters, make a SpatRasterCollection from a list
rlist <- list(x, y, z)
rsrc <- sprc(rlist)

m <- mosaic(rsrc)
