Raster of Latitudes and Longitudes

Given raster object r, how can I create a new raster with the same extent and resolution, with cell values equal to the latitude (or longitude) of the corresponding cell in r?

For example, r might look like:

r <- raster(matrix(runif(100), ncol=10))
Solution

  • If your question is about create a new raster object which has the same extent and resolution of another raster object you can use command template

    template is Raster* or Extent object used to set the extent (and CRS in case of a Raster* object). If not NULL, arguments xmn, xmx, ymn, ymx and crs (unless template is an Extent object) are ignored

    r <- raster(matrix(runif(100), ncol=10))
r1 <- raster(x, template=r)
