R: Trim a landsat Image to a Geographical Region

landsatTrim {oce} | R Documentation

## Trim a landsat Image to a Geographical Region

### Description

Trim a landsat image to a latitude-longitude box. This is only an approximate operation, because landsat images are provided in x-y coordinates, not longitude-latitude coordinates.

### Usage

    landsatTrim(x, ll, ur, box, debug = getOption("oceDebug"))

### Arguments

`x` | a landsat object.
`ll` | A list containing `longitude` and `latitude`, for the lower-left corner of the portion of the image to retain, or a vector with first element longitude and second element latitude. If provided, then `ur` must also be provided, but `box` cannot.
`ur` | A list containing `longitude` and `latitude`, for the upper-right corner of the portion of the image to retain, or a vector with first element longitude and second element latitude. If provided, then `ll` must also be provided, but `box` cannot.
`box` | A list containing `x` and `y` (each of length 2), corresponding to the values for `ll` and `ur`, such as would be produced by a call to `locator(2)`. If provided, neither `ll` nor `ur` may be provided.
`debug` | A flag that turns on debugging. Set to 1 to get a moderate amount of debugging information, or a higher value for more debugging.

### Details

As of June 25, 2015, the matrices storing the image data are trimmed to indices determined by linear interpolation based on the location of the `ll` and `ur` corners within the lon-lat corners specified in the image data. (A previous version trimmed in UTM space, and in fact this may be done in future also, if a problem in lonlat/utm conversion is resolved.) An error results if there is no intersection between the trimming box and the image box.

### Value

A landsat object, with data having been trimmed as specified.
