RS_AsMatrix

Introduction: Returns a string, that when printed, outputs the raster band as a pretty printed 2D matrix. All the values of the raster are cast to double for the string. RS_AsMatrix allows specifying the number of digits to be considered after the decimal point. RS_AsMatrix expects a raster, and optionally a band (default: 1) and postDecimalPrecision (default: 6). The band parameter is 1-indexed.

Note

If the provided band is not present in the raster, RS_AsMatrix throws an IllegalArgumentException

Note

If the provided raster has integral values, postDecimalPrecision (if any) is simply ignored and integers are printed in the resultant string

Note

If you are using show() to display the output, it will show special characters as escape sequences. To get the expected behavior use the following code:

println(df.selectExpr("RS_AsMatrix(rast)").sample(0.5).collect().mkString("\n"))
System.out.println(String.join("\n", df.selectExpr("RS_AsMatrix(rast)").sample(0.5).collect()))
print("\n".join(df.selectExpr("RS_AsMatrix(rast)").sample(0.5).collect()))

The sample() function is only there to reduce the data sent to collect(), you may also use filter() if that's appropriate.

Format:

RS_AsMatrix(raster: Raster, band: Integer = 1, postDecimalPrecision: Integer = 6)

Since: 1.5.0

SQL Example

val inputDf = Seq(Seq(1, 3.333333, 4, 0.0001, 2.2222, 9, 10, 11.11111111, 3, 4, 5, 6)).toDF("band")
print(inputDf.selectExpr("RS_AsMatrix(RS_AddBandFromArray(RS_MakeEmptyRaster(1, 'd', 4, 3, 0, 0, 1, -1, 0, 0, 0), band, 1, 0))").sample(0.5).collect()(0))

Output:

| 1.00000   3.33333   4.00000   0.00010|
| 2.22220   9.00000  10.00000  11.11111|
| 3.00000   4.00000   5.00000   6.00000|

SQL Example

val inputDf = Seq(Seq(1, 3, 4, 0, 2, 9, 10, 11, 3, 4, 5, 6)).toDF("band")
print(inputDf.selectExpr("RS_AsMatrix(RS_AddBandFromArray(RS_MakeEmptyRaster(1, 'i', 4, 3, 0, 0, 1, -1, 0, 0, 0), band, 1, 0))").sample(0.5).collect()(0))

Output:

| 1   3   4   0|
| 2   9  10  11|
| 3   4   5   6|
