bbox2sp: Create Spatial object from a bounding box

Description

This function takes the bounding box of a Spatial* object and creates a SpatialPoints* or SpatialPolygons* object from it.

Usage

bbox2sp(obj, sp = "SpatialPolygons", keep.crs = TRUE)

obj

Object of class Spatial*.

sp

Class of the resulting object. Available options are "SpatialPoints", "SpatialPointsDataFrame", "SpatialPolygons" and "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame".

keep.crs

Logical for assigning the same coordinate reference system to the resulting Spatial* object.
