mask {terra}

R Documentation

Mask values in a SpatRaster or SpatVector

Description

If x is a SpatRaster: Create a new SpatRaster that has the same values as SpatRaster x, except for the cells that are NA (or other maskvalue) in another SpatRaster (the 'mask'), or the cells that are not covered by a SpatVector. These cells become NA (or another updatevalue).

If x is a SpatVector: Select geometries of x that intersect, or not intersect, with the geometries of y.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster,SpatRaster'
mask(x, mask, inverse=FALSE, maskvalues=NA, 
   updatevalue=NA, filename="", ...)
   
## S4 method for signature 'SpatRaster,SpatVector'
mask(x, mask, inverse=FALSE, updatevalue=NA,
	touches=TRUE, filename="", ...)

## S4 method for signature 'SpatVector,SpatVector'
mask(x, mask, inverse=FALSE)

Arguments

x	SpatRaster or SpatVector
mask	SpatRaster or SpatVector
inverse	logical. If TRUE, areas on mask that are _not_ the maskvalue are masked
maskvalues	numeric. The value(s) in mask that indicate which cells of x should be masked (change their value to updatevalue (default = NA))
updatevalue	numeric. The value that masked cells should become (if they are not NA)
touches	logical. If TRUE, all cells touched by lines or polygons will be masked, not just those on the line render path, or whose center point is within the polygon
filename	character. Output filename
...	additional arguments for writing files as in writeRaster

Value

SpatRaster

Examples

r <- rast(ncols=10, nrows=10)
m <- rast(ncols=10, nrows=10)
values(r) <- 1:100
set.seed(1965)
x <- round(3 * runif(ncell(r)))
x[x==0] <- NA
values(m) <- x
mr <- mask(r, m)
