Figure 3.10 Raster aggregation and disaggregation

figures

R

This figure shows how you can’t recover raster information after aggregation.

Code
library(terra)
library(tmap)
library(cols4all)
library(dplyr)

Get the data—you’ll need some of your own data here.

Code
z <- rast("raster-data.tif")

Aggregate and disaggregate by 10

Code
z10 <- z |> 
  aggregate(10)

z_dash <- z10 |>
  resample(z)

Make maps. For the images in the book, I dissolved the raster layers to polygons to create smaller SVG outputs that I was better able to control in making final graphics. For online, I don’t need to worry about that.

Code
m1 <- tm_shape(z) + 
  tm_raster(
    col.scale = tm_scale(breaks = seq(180, 280, 10),
                         values = "brewer.br_bg")) + 
  tm_layout(frame = FALSE, legend.show = FALSE)

m2 <- tm_shape(z10) + 
  tm_raster(
    col.scale = tm_scale(breaks = seq(180, 280, 10),
                         values = "brewer.br_bg")) + 
  tm_layout(frame = FALSE, legend.show = FALSE)

m3 <- tm_shape(z_dash) + 
  tm_raster(
    col.scale = tm_scale(breaks = seq(180, 280, 10),
                         values = "brewer.br_bg")) + 
  tm_layout(frame = FALSE, legend.show = FALSE)

tmap_arrange(m1, m2, m3)
