Compare grid resolutions

Generates a table comparing different resolution levels for a given grid configuration. Useful for choosing appropriate resolution.

Usage

hexify_compare_resolutions(aperture = 3, res_range = 0:15, print = FALSE)

Arguments

aperture

Grid aperture (3, 4, or 7)

res_range

Range of resolutions to compare (e.g., 1:10)

print

If TRUE, prints a formatted table to console. If FALSE (default), returns a data frame.

Value

If print=FALSE: data frame with columns resolution, n_cells, cell_area_km2, cell_spacing_km, cls_km. If print=TRUE: invisibly returns the data frame after printing.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Get data frame of resolutions 0-10 for aperture 3
comparison <- hexify_compare_resolutions(aperture = 3, res_range = 0:10)
print(comparison)

# Print formatted table directly
hexify_compare_resolutions(aperture = 3, res_range = 0:10, print = TRUE)

# Find resolution with cells ~1000 km^2
subset(comparison, cell_area_km2 > 900 & cell_area_km2 < 1100)
} # }
