Where can I find a sample tif file?
Sample File can be found on the link: ftp://ftp.ntsg.umt.edu/pub/MODIS/NTSG_Products/MOD16/MOD16A2_MONTHLY.MERRA_GMAO_1kmALB/GEOTIFF_0.05degree/ Please help me with this issue of reading tif files correctly. Thanks in advance. Did you try simply the raster package raster function (or stack if multiple layered tif)?
What does a raster look like in R-stack?
Technically, a raster being a matrix, this could be how it looks like: Just a bunch of matrix layers (516 to be precise), where each pixel is exactly aligned. Here I only have three example layers, the rest is indicated by the three dots.

How to read spatial files into are using rgdal?
The rgdal package has been around for more than a decade and provides bindings to the incredible Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL) for reading, writing and converting between spatial formats. You need to install the rgdal package before you can run any of the code in this post.
How to crop a LIDAR plot in R?
You can use the crop() function in R to crop the raster data using the vector shapefile. # crop the lidar raster using the vector extent lidar_chm_crop <- crop(lidar_chm, crop_extent) plot(lidar_chm_crop, main = “Cropped lidar chm”) # add shapefile on top of the existing raster plot(crop_extent, add = TRUE)
How to crop raster to the extent of an object?
We can use the crop function to crop a raster to the extent of another spatial object. To do this, we need to specify the raster to be cropped and the spatial object that will be used to crop the raster. R will use the extent of the spatial object as the cropping boundary.
How do I add a clip function to a raster image?
Use the Image Analysis window to apply a Clip function to the raster. In ArcMap, click the Windows menu, and open the Image Analysis window. With the correct raster selected in the top portion of the Image Analysis window, click the Add Function button in the Processing section. Right-click Identity Function > Insert Function > Clip Function.
How to open a vector layer in raster?
Open Raster and Vector Layers. First, you will use the raster() function to open a raster layer. Open Vector Layer. Next, let’s open up a vector layer that contains the crop extent that you want to use to crop your data. To open a shapefile you use the readOGR() function.
