An S4 class to represent space-time informations.
datesA two column numeric matrix giving
the date value and error, respectively.
coordinatesA three columns numeric matrix
(x, y and z) giving the geographic coordinates
(longitude, latitude and elevation, respectively).
epsgAn integer giving the EPSG code of the spatial
reference system used. Numeric values are coerced to integer
as by as.integer (and hence truncated towards zero).
In the code snippets below, x is a SpaceTime object.
get_dates(x), set_dates(x) <- valueGet or set the dates
of x according to value
(see set_dates for details).
get_coordinates(x), set_coordinates(x) <- valueGet or
set the geographical coordinates of x according to value
(see set_coordinates for details).
get_epsg(x), set_epsg(x) <- valueGet or
set the EPSG of x according to value. Numeric values are
coerced to integer as by as.integer (and hence
truncated towards zero).
get_features(x)Convert an AbundanceMatrix
object to a data frame with dates and
coordinates columns.
