R: Compare Raster objects

compareRaster {raster} | R Documentation

## Compare Raster objects

### Description

Evaluate whether a two or more Raster* objects have the same extent, number of rows and columns, projection, resolution, and origin (or a subset of these comparisons).

all.equal is a wrapper around compareRaster with options `values=TRUE`, `stopiffalse=FALSE` and `showwarning=TRUE`.

### Usage

    compareRaster(x, ..., extent=TRUE, rowcol=TRUE, crs=TRUE, res=FALSE, orig=FALSE,
             rotation=TRUE, values=FALSE, tolerance, stopiffalse=TRUE, showwarning=FALSE)

### Arguments

`x` | Raster* object
`...` | Raster* objects
`extent` | logical. If `TRUE`, bounding boxes are compared
`rowcol` | logical. If `TRUE`, number of rows and columns of the objects are compared
`crs` | logical. If `TRUE`, coordinate reference systems are compared.
`res` | logical. If `TRUE`, resolutions are compared (redundant when checking extent and rowcol)
`orig` | logical. If `TRUE`, origins are compared
`rotation` | logical. If `TRUE`, rotations are compared
`values` | logical. If `TRUE`, cell values are compared
`tolerance` | numeric between 0 and 0.5. If not supplied, the default value is used (see `rasterOptions`. It sets difference (relative to the cell resolution) that is permissible for objects to be considered 'equal', if they have a non-integer origin or resolution. See all.equal.
`stopiffalse` | logical. If `TRUE`, an error will occur if the objects are not the same
`showwarning` | logical. If `TRUE`, an warning will be given if objects are not the same. Only relevant when `stopiffalse` is `TRUE`

### Examples

    r1 <- raster()
    r2 <- r1
    r3 <- r1
    compareRaster(r1, r2, r3)
    nrow(r3) <- 10

    # compareRaster(r1, r3)
    compareRaster(r1, r3, stopiffalse=FALSE)
    compareRaster(r1, r3, rowcol=FALSE)

    all.equal(r1, r2)
    all.equal(r1, r3)
