Dear Rui;
Many thanks for your email. I used one of your codes,
"data2$LU[which(data2$Layer == "Level 12")] <- "Park"", and it works
correctly for me.
Actually I need to expand the codes so as to consider all "Levels" in the
"Layer" column. There are more than hundred levels in the Layer column.
If I use your provided code, I have to write it hundred of time as below:
data2$LU[which(data2$Layer == "Level 1")] <- "Park";
data2$LU[which(data2$Layer == "Level 2")] <- "Agri";
...
...
...
.
Is there any other way to expand the code in order to consider all of the
levels simultaneously? Like the below code:
data2$LU[which(data2$Layer == c("Level 1","Level 2", "Level 3", ...))] <-
c("Park", "Agri", "GS", ...)
Sincerely
