Get the source of a spatial object

A class agnostic function to return or create the source of a spatial object.

Usage

get_source(x, force = FALSE)

# S3 method for class 'SpatRaster'
get_source(x, force = FALSE)

# S3 method for class 'stars'
get_source(x, force = FALSE)

# S3 method for class 'stars_proxy'
get_source(x, force = FALSE)

# S3 method for class 'character'
get_source(x, force = FALSE)

# S3 method for class 'sf'
get_source(x, force = FALSE)

# S3 method for class 'sfc'
get_source(x, force = FALSE)

# S3 method for class 'SpatVector'
get_source(x, force = FALSE)

Arguments

x

a raster source - either character i.e a local source or remote. If remote, src must be prefixed with relevant gdal module. e.g. "/vsicurl/"

force

Logical to determine if the SpatRaster or stars_proxy object should be re-saved even if on disk sources exist.

Value

character source.

Details

If a SpatRaster is provided the source of the raster is used.

#> [1] "/tmp/RtmpsFwRQg/file230ced37923.tif"
f2 <- system.file("ex/lux.shp", package = "terra")
get_source(f2)
#> [1] "/home/runner/work/_temp/Library/terra/ex/lux.shp"
