Simple wrapper to load any Raster* object This wraps either raster::raster, raster::stack, or raster::brick, allowing a single function to be used to create a new object of the same class as a template.

rasterCreate(x, ...)

# S3 method for default
rasterCreate(x, ...)

# S3 method for RasterBrick
rasterCreate(x, ...)

# S3 method for RasterLayer
rasterCreate(x, ...)

# S3 method for RasterStack
rasterCreate(x, ...)

# S3 method for Raster

Arguments

x

An object, notably a Raster* object. All others will simply be passed through with no effect.

...

Passed to raster::raster, raster::stack, or raster::brick

Details

A new (empty) object of same class as the original.

Methods (by class)

• default: Simply passes through argument with no effect

• RasterBrick: Uses raster::brick

• RasterLayer: Uses raster::raster

• RasterStack: Uses raster::stack

• Raster: Uses raster::raster when one of the other, less commonly used Raster* classes, e.g., RasterLayerSparse
