Get information from a raster

This function gets information from a raster layer in GRASS GIS and returns it as a list. It is a wrapper for module r.info() in GRASS GIS.

Usage

grass_raster_info(map)

Arguments

map

[character]
Name of the raster layer, possibly including the mapset in the format "map_name@mapset_name" if in a mapset different from the current mapset.

Value

A list with 9 elements, extracted from r.info: the four coorinates defining the bounding box of the raster (n, s, e, w); the raster resolution, taken as nsres; the number of rows, cols, and cells, and the type of data (e.g. CELL, FCELL).

Examples

if(FALSE) {
  # connect to GRASS
  NinaR::grassConnect()
  # get raster parameters
  grass_raster_info(map = "master_grid_100m_norway@p_sam_tools")
}
