values function

Cell values and geometry attributes

Get the cell values of a SpatRaster or the attributes of a SpatVector.

By default all values returned are numeric. This is because a vector or matrix can only store one data type, and a SpatRaster may consist of multiple data types. However, if all layers have integer or logical values, the returned values also have that datatype.

Note that with values(x, dataframe=TRUE) and as.data.frame(x) the values returned match the type of each layer, and can be a mix of numeric, logical, integer, and factor. methods

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster'
values(x, mat=TRUE, dataframe=FALSE, row=1, 
    nrows=nrow(x), col=1, ncols=ncol(x), na.rm=FALSE, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SpatVector'
values(x, ...)

Arguments

• x: SpatRaster or SpatVector
• mat: logical. If TRUE, values are returned as a matrix instead of as a vector, except when dataframe is TRUE
• dataframe: logical. If TRUE, values are returned as a data.frame instead of as a vector (also if matrix is TRUE)
• row: positive integer. Row number to start from, should be between 1 and nrow(x)
• nrows: positive integer. How many rows?
• col: positive integer. Column number to start from, should be between 1 and ncol(x)
• ncols: positive integer. How many columns? Default is the number of columns left after the start column
• na.rm: logical. Remove NAs?
• ...: additional arguments passed to data.frame

Details

If x is a SpatRaster, and mat=FALSE, the values are returned as a vector. In cell-order by layer. If mat=TRUE, a matrix is returned in which the values of each layer are represented by a column (with ncell(x) rows). The values per layer are in cell-order, that is, from top-left, to top-right and then down by row. Use as.matrix(x, wide=TRUE) for an alternative matrix representation where the number of rows and columns matches that of x.

Note

raster values that are NA (missing) are represented by NaN (not-a-number) unless argument dataframe is TRUE.

Returns

matrix or data.frame
