click.RdClick on a map (plot) to get values of a Raster* or Spatial* object at that location; and optionally the coordinates and cell number of the location. For SpatialLines and SpatialPoints you need to click twice (draw a box).
# S4 method for class 'Raster'
click(x, n=Inf, id=FALSE, xy=FALSE, cell=FALSE, type="n", show=TRUE, ...)
# S4 method for class 'SpatialGrid'
click(x, n=1, id=FALSE, xy=FALSE, cell=FALSE, type="n", ...)
# S4 method for class 'SpatialPolygons'
click(x, n=1, id=FALSE, xy=FALSE, type="n", ...)
# S4 method for class 'SpatialLines'
click(x, ...)
# S4 method for class 'SpatialPoints'
click(x, ...)Raster*, or Spatial* object (or missing)
number of clicks on the map
Logical. If TRUE, a numeric ID is shown on the map that corresponds to the row number of the output
Logical. If TRUE, xy coordinates are included in the output
Logical. If TRUE, cell numbers are included in the output
One of "n", "p", "l" or "o". If "p" or "o" the points are plotted; if "l" or "o" they are joined by lines. See ?locator
logical. Print the values after each click?
additional graphics parameters used if type != "n" for plotting the locations. See ?locator
The value(s) of x at the point(s) clicked on (or touched by the box drawn).
The plot only provides the coordinates for a spatial query, the values are read from the Raster* or Spatial* object that is passed as an argument. Thus you can extract values from an object that has not been plotted, as long as it spatialy overlaps with with the extent of the plot.
Unless the process is terminated prematurely values at at most n positions are determined. The identification process can be terminated by clicking the second mouse button and selecting 'Stop' from the menu, or from the 'Stop' menu on the graphics window.
