Drawing lines in raster cells

Hi Oscar,

Thanks for your help, what I would like to get is something similar to this:

Where each raster cells with a certain values (say 1) get crossed by a
diagonal line.

Your code is achieving something different, concerning the object created
the best would be a Spatial* object, however I think I could be able to find
a way around using ggmap.

Thanks again,
Lionel

Hi Lionel,

With this code you will draw lines connecting raster cells with a
certain value. I am not sure if you also need to build a SpatialLines
object with them (which you won't get with my code):

library(raster)
library(latticeExtra) ## to use +.trellis and layer()

r1<-raster(ncols=10,nrows=10)
r1[]<-sample(0:1,100,replace=TRUE)

## extract coordinates of those cells with a condition
myCells <- Which(r1==1, cells=TRUE)
xy <- xyFromCell(r1, myCells)

## border and border.lwd are only needed to highlight the cells boundaries
spplot(r1, at=c(0, 0.5, 1), border='black', border.lwd=0.3) +
     layer(llines(xy, type='b', col='black'))


Best,

Oscar.

Dear List,

I would like to draw lines in raster cells with a certain values, I can
work around this with a for loop but as always this solution only works
for small datasets (which is not my case), I would therefore like to
have your opinion on this;

#the code
library(maptools) #to use spRbind
out<-NULL
r1<-raster(ncols=10,nrows=10)
r1[]<-sample(0:1,100,replace=TRUE)
for(i in 1:ncell(r1)){
    if(r1[i]==1){

lines<-SpatialLines(list(Lines(list(Line(matrix(c(xyFromCell(r1,i)+(res(r1)/2),xyFromCell(r1,i)-(res(r1)/2)),ncol=2,byrow=TRUE))),ID=as.character(i))))
      if(is.null(out)){
        out<-lines }
         else {out<-spRbind(out,lines)}
      }
    print(i)
}

Thank you in advance,
