Set up the downloaded data for a BarnebyLives instance

data_setup.Rd

Once all data are downloaded for BarnebyLives use this function to set them up to be used by the pipeline.

Usage

data_setup(path, pathOut, bound, cleanup)

Arguments

path

Character. path to the folder where output from data_download was downloaded. Defaults to a subfolder within the working directory ('./geodata_raw').

pathOut

Character. Path to the folder where final spatial data should be placed. Defaults to ('.'), and will create a 'geodata' directory within it to store results.

bound

Data frame. 'x' and 'y' coordinates of the extent for which the BL instance will cover.

cleanup

Boolean. Whether to remove the original zip files which were downloaded. Defaults to FALSE. Either mode of running the function will delete the uncompressed zip files generated during the process. If FALSE, this will also bundle the downloaded topographic variables into their own directories, e.g. all directories of 'aspect' rasters will go into a single 'aspect' directory.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
bound <- data.frame(
  y = c(42, 42, 44, 44, 42),
  x = c(-117, -119, -119, -117, -117)
)


setwd('/media/steppe/hdd/BL_sandbox/geodata_raw')
data_setup(path = '.', pathOut = '../geodata', bound = bound, cleanup = FALSE)
} # }
