Split

Split a SpatRaster by layer, or a SpatVector by attributes. You can also split the geometry of a polygon SpatVector with another SpatVector.

Usage

# S4 method for SpatRaster,ANY
split(x, f)

# S4 method for SpatVector,ANY
split(x, f)

# S4 method for SpatVector,SpatVector
split(x, f)

Arguments

x

SpatRaster or SpatVector

f

If x is a SpatRaster: a vector of the length nlyr(x). If x is a SpatVector: a field (variable) name or a vector of the same length as x; or, if x is a SpatVector of polygons, a SpatVector of lines or polygons to split the polygon geometries

Value

list or SpatVector

Examples

## split layers
s <- rast(system.file("ex/logo.tif", package="terra"))   
y <- split(s, c(1,2,1))
sds(y)
#> class       : SpatRasterDataset 
#> subdatasets : 2 
#> dimensions  : 77, 101 (nrow, ncol)
#> nlyr        : 2, 1 
#> resolution  : 1, 1  (x, y)
#> extent      : 0, 101, 0, 77  (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
#> coord. ref. : Cartesian (Meter) 
#> source(s)   : logo.tif 

## split attributes
v <- vect(system.file("ex/lux.shp", package="terra"))
x <- split(v, "NAME_1")

## split geometries
v <- v[1:5,]
line <- vect(matrix(c(5.79, 6.22, 5.75, 6.1, 5.8, 
  50.14, 50.05, 49.88, 49.85, 49.71), ncol=2), "line")
s <- split(v, line)
