`arcpullr` has the capability to query not only vector (Feature) layers, but
also raster layers (both Map and Image service types). The syntax for these is
generally the same as for the `get_layer_by_*` family of functions. Map and
Image layers require a bounding box as part of the query, so both
`get_map_layer` and `get_image_layer` have required arguments of a URL and an
`sf` object. These functions pull the raster layers provided by the URL and return the layer as a RasterLayer object from the `raster` package.
## URL's for examples
Example Source Data
```{r}
# WDNR Server
image_server <- "https://dnrmaps.wi.gov/arcgis_image/rest/services/"
# WI Landcover Type URL
landcover_path <- "DW_Land_Cover/EN_Land_Cover2_Lev2/MapServer"
landcover_url <- paste0(image_server, landcover_path)
# WI Leaf-off Aerial Imagery URL
wi_leaf_off_path <- "DW_Image/EN_Image_Basemap_Leaf_Off/ImageServer"
wi_aerial_imagery_url <- paste0(image_server, wi_leaf_off_path)
# the wis_poly polygon is available as an exported object in arcpullr
```
## Map Layers
The `get_map_layer` function takes a URL and an sf object. Since the query for
this layer type on an ArcGIS REST Service requires a bounding box any sf object
can be used (i.e. POLYGON, POINT, LINE, etc.) and a bounding box will be created
using the extent of the shape.
The example below pulls Wisconsin landcover types and plots them in a map.
```{r map_layer, eval = FALSE, echo = FALSE}
wi_landcover <- get_map_layer(landcover_url, wis_poly)
```
```{r show_map_plotting, ref.label=c('map_layer', 'plot_map_layer'), eval = FALSE}
```
```{r plot_map_layer, fig.height = 7, fig.width = 7, echo = FALSE}
plot_layer(wi_landcover)
```
## Image Layers
The `get_image_layer` function works the same as `get_map_layer` except that it
queries from an Image layer. The easiest way to distinguish a Map layer from an
Image layer is by checking the URL. Those from images will end with
"ImageServer" whereas those from maps will end with "MapServer". Another way to
check is to look a the "Supported Operations" at the bottom of the actual web
page on the ArcGIS REST Service. It will say either "Export Image" or
"Export Map".
This example pulls with Wisconsin Leaf-off Aerial Imagery dataset from the
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
```{r, image_layer, eval = FALSE, echo = FALSE}
wi_aerial_imagery <- get_image_layer(wi_aerial_imagery_url, wis_poly)
```
```{r show_map_plotting, ref.label=c("image_layer", "plot_image_layer"), eval = FALSE}
```
```{r, plot_image_layer, fig.height = 5, fig.width = 5, echo = FALSE}
plot_layer(wi_aerial_imagery)
```
