makeGridTopology: Generate a GridTopology from a Spatial object

Description

Sensible defaults are assumed, to match the extents of data to a manageable grid. Approximations for kilometres in longlat can be made using cellsize and adjust2longlat.

Usage

makeGridTopology(obj, cells.dim = c(100, 100), xlim = NULL, ylim = NULL,
  buffer = 0, cellsize = NULL, adjust2longlat = FALSE)

Arguments

obj
any Spatial object, or other object for which bbox will work
cells.dim
the number of cells of the grid, x then y
xlim
x limits of the grid
ylim
y limits of the grid
buffer
proportional size of the buffer to add to the grid limits
cellsize
pixel cell size
adjust2longlat
assume cell size is in kilometres and provide simple adjustment for earth-radius cells at the north-south centre of the grid
