image(x[])
image(as(x, "SpatialGridDataFrame"))
summary(as(x, "SpatialGridDataFrame"))
spplot(x) # S4 method: will transform x
# select first 50 rows:
summary(x[1:50])
# select first 50 columns:
summary(x[,1:50])
# select band 1:
summary(x[,,1])
# select first 50 rows, first 50 columns, band 1:
summary(x[1:50,1:50,1])
# get values of first band:
summary(x[[1]])
