Create an "image" type plot of a RasterLayer. This is an implementation of a generic function in the graphics package. In most cases the
plot function would be preferable because it produces a legend (and has some additional options).
Usage
image(x, ...)
## S3 method for class 'RasterLayer':
image(x, maxpixels=500000, useRaster=TRUE, ...)
## S3 method for class 'RasterStackBrick':
image(x, y=1, maxpixels=100000, useRaster=TRUE, main, ...)
Arguments
x
Raster* object
maxpixels
integer > 0. Maximum number of cells to use for the plot. If maxpixels < ncell(x), sampleRegular is used before plotting
useRaster
If TRUE, the rasterImage function is used for plotting. Otherwise the image function is used. This can be useful if rasterImage does not work well on your system (see note)
main
character. Main plot title
...
Any argument that can be passed to image (graphics package)
y
If x is a RasterStack or RasterBrick: integer, character (layer name(s)), or missing to select which layer(s) to plot
