Does values(r) <- as.factor(1:ncell(r))
do what you want? ------------------------------------- David L Carlson Department of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77840-4352 ----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of Stefan Schmidt Sent: Tuesday, May 6, 2014 11:22 AM To: r-help@r-project.org Subject: [R] conversion error from numeric to factor in raster: Error in 1:ncol(r) : argument of length 0, r command: as.factor() Hello together, I was wondering how I can solve the following conversion problem of a raster file: when I try to convert the values from the raster (r) from numeric into a factor via as.factor(r) always the error appears: "Error in 1:ncol(r) : argument of length 0". r <- raster(ncol=5, nrow=5) values(r) <- 1:ncell(r) as.factor(r) Urgently I have to figure out how to convert a numeric raster into a factor raster for a predict() calculation within the raster package. Every hint is very welcome!
