Convert raster to im object

I would like to convert a raster to an im object but have so far been unable to do so.



Here is a reproducible example:



Create raster layer and add data to it:



r.toy <- raster(ncol=40, nrow=20)
r.toy <- rnorm(n=ncell(r.toy))


Plot the raster:



plot(r.toy)


raster



Convert to image:



r.toy.im <- as.im(r.toy)


I receive the following error:



Error in as.im.default(r.toy) : Can't convert X to a pixel image

          You just need to load the maptools package which can convert many spatial
          formats in R:



          library(raster)
          library(spatstat)
          library(maptools)
          r.toy <- raster(ncol=40, nrow=20)
          r.toy <- rnorm(n=ncell(r.toy))
          r.toy.im <- as.im(r.toy)
          plot(r.toy.im)

          • Thank you, I didn't realize that maptools had to be loaded! However, I just tried to do the same thing, this time converting a polygon into an im object and received the same error message, despite maptools being loaded. Is polygon not a suitable data type to be converted to im?

          • Correct. Polygon should be converted to owin.
