--- title: "Mixed UTM zones and terra collections" output: rmarkdown::html_vignette vignette: > %\VignetteIndexEntry{Mixed UTM zones and terra collections} %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} --- ```{r, include=FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set(collapse = TRUE, comment = "#>", eval = FALSE) ``` BlueTopo is published as source tiles. Adjacent tiles can differ in CRS, native cell size, origin, alignment, or delivery date. `bluertopo` treats those differences as source facts rather than hiding them with automatic resampling. ## Native output ```{r} native <- bluertopo( aoi, resolution = "native", coverage = "fill", combine = "auto" ) ``` When selected rasters share a compatible grid, the result is a single `terra::SpatRaster`. When grids differ, the result is a `terra::SpatRasterCollection` with stable collection names derived from grid metadata. ```{r} class(native) ``` ## Requesting a collection Use `combine = "collection"` when downstream code should always receive a collection, even for a single compatible grid. ```{r} collection <- bluertopo( aoi, resolution = "native", combine = "collection" ) ``` ## Requesting one output grid Use `combine = "single"` together with `output_crs` and `output_resolution` when your analysis requires one grid. This is explicit resampling and is reported by a warning. ```{r} single <- bluertopo( aoi, resolution = "native", output_crs = "EPSG:26918", output_resolution = 10, combine = "single", resampling = c( elevation = "bilinear", uncertainty = "bilinear", contributor = "near" ) ) ``` Geographic target resolutions are rejected in this release because degree-based cell sizes are ambiguous for bathymetric analysis. Use a projected CRS for explicit output grids.
