unique function

Unique values

This method returns the unique values in a SpatRaster, or removes duplicates records (geometry and attributes) in a SpatVector. methods

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster'
unique(x, incomparables=FALSE, digits=NA, na.rm=TRUE, as.raster=FALSE) 

## S4 method for signature 'SpatVector'
unique(x, incomparables=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

• x: SpatRaster or SpatVector
• incomparables: logical. If FALSE and x is a SpatRaster: the unique values are determined for all layers together, and the result is a matrix. If TRUE, each layer is evaluated separately, and a list is returned. If x is a SpatVector this argument is as for a data.frame
• digits: integer. The number of digits for rounding the values before finding the unique values. Use NA means to not do any rounding
• na.rm: logical. If TRUE, NaN is included if there are any missing values
• as.raster: logical. If TRUE, a single-layer categorical SpatRaster with the unique values is returned
• ...: additional arguments passed on to unique

Returns

If x is a SpatRaster: data.frame or list (if incomparables=FALSE)

If x is a SpatVector: SpatVector

Examples

r <- rast(ncols=5, nrows=5)
values(r) <- rep(1:5, each=5)
unique(r)
s <- c(r, round(r/3))
unique(s)
unique(s,TRUE)

unique(s, as.raster=TRUE)

v <- vect(cbind(x=c(1:5,1:5), y=c(5:1,5:1)), 
                crs="+proj=utm +zone=1 +datum=WGS84")
nrow(v)
u <- unique(v)
nrow(u)

values(v) <- c(1:5, 1:3, 5:4)
unique(v)
