An S4 class to represent space-time informations.
dates
A two column numeric
matrix giving
the date value
and error
, respectively.
coordinates
A three columns numeric
matrix
(x
, y
and z
) giving the geographic coordinates
(longitude, latitude and elevation, respectively).
epsg
An 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) <- value
Get or set the dates
of x
according to value
(see set_dates
for details).
get_coordinates(x)
, set_coordinates(x) <- value
Get or
set the geographical coordinates of x
according to value
(see set_coordinates
for details).
get_epsg(x)
, set_epsg(x) <- value
Get 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.
