ncdf_cube: Read a data cube from an existing netCDF file

Description

Create a proxy data cube from a netCDF file that has been created using write_ncdf. This function does not read cubes from arbitrary netCDF files and can be used e.g., to load intermediate results and/or plotting existing netCDF cubes on disk without doing the data cube creation from image collections.

Usage

ncdf_cube(path, chunking = NULL, auto_unpack = TRUE)

Arguments

path

path to an existing netCDF file

chunking

custom chunk sizes to read form the netCDF file; defaults to using chunk sizes from the netCDF file

auto_unpack

logical; automatically apply offset and scale when reading data values

Value

a proxy data cube object

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# create image collection from example Landsat data only 
# if not already done in other examples
if (!file.exists(file.path(tempdir(), "L8.db"))) {
  L8_files <- list.files(system.file("L8NY18", package = "gdalcubes"),
                         ".TIF", recursive = TRUE, full.names = TRUE)
  create_image_collection(L8_files, "L8_L1TP", file.path(tempdir(), "L8.db")) 
}

L8.col = image_collection(file.path(tempdir(), "L8.db"))
v = cube_view(extent=list(left=388941.2, right=766552.4, 
              bottom=4345299, top=4744931, t0="2018-04", t1="2018-06"),
              srs="EPSG:32618", nx = 497, ny=526, dt="P1M")

# }
# NOT RUN {
ncfile = write_ncdf(select_bands(raster_cube(L8.col, v), c("B02", "B03", "B04")))
ncdf_cube(ncfile)
# }
