Determine resolution based on desired area

Determine an appropriate grid resolution based on a desired cell area.

Usage

dg_closest_res_to_area(
  dggs,
  area,
  round = "nearest",
  show_info = TRUE,
  metric = TRUE
)

Arguments

dggs

A dggs object from dgconstruct()

area

The desired area of the grid's cells

round

What direction to search in. Must be nearest, up, or down.

show_info

Print the area, spacing, and CLS of the chosen resolution.

metric

Whether input and output should be in metric (TRUE) or imperial (FALSE)

Value

A number representing the grid resolution

Examples

library(dggridR)
dggs <- dgconstruct(res=20)
res  <- dg_closest_res_to_area(dggs,1)
