raster (version 1.1.7)

hist: Histogram

Description

Create a histogram of the values of a RasterLayer. NA values are ignored. Large datasets are sampled using maxpixels.

Usage

hist(x, ...)

Arguments

x

A Raster* object

...

Additional arguments. See under Methods and at hist

Value

• This function is principally used for the side-effect of plotting a histogram, but it also returns an S3 object of class 'histogram' (invisibly if plot=TRUE).

Methods

A full call as implemented here: hist(x, layer, maxpixels=100000, plot=TRUE, main, ...) layer can be used to subset the layers to plot in a multilayer object (RasterBrick or RasterStack) maxpixels is the maximum number of (randomly sampled) cells to be used for creating the histogram see hist for the other arguments

Examples

r1 <- raster(nrows=50, ncols=50)
r1 <- setValues(r1, runif(ncell(r1)))
r2 <- setValues(r1, runif(ncell(r1)))
rs <- r1 + r2
rp <- r1 * r2
par(mfrow=c(2,2))
plot(rs, main='sum')
plot(rp, main='product')
hist(rs)
a = hist(rp)
