Get spatial data from metrics.patches output

Turn patch metrics from NetLogo in spatial data objects

Usage

nl_to_raster(nl)

Arguments

nl

nl object

Value

tibble with spatial data objects

Details

Converts measured metrics.patches into spatial raster objects. In order to so, a patch coordinates needs to be measured (pxcor/pycor). For each additional patch metric, a raster will be created using the measured coordinates as x and y and the additional metric as z dimension. In case of multiple measured metrics, a raster stack with one raster for each metric will be reported.

In order to use this function, simulation results need to be attached to the nl object first.

Examples

# Load nl object (with spatial output data already attached) from test data:
nl <- nl_spatial

# Convert patch metrics to spatial raster objects:
results.raster <- nl_to_raster(nl)
