[R-sig-Geo] Creating a raster and setting extent in R

[Safeeq Khan]

I am trying to create a raster with 922 columns and 444 rows at
0.06250-degree spatial resolution. However, after I set the following
extent the resolution of the resulting raster comes out to be 0.06243221.
It seems like the extent function is only reading the first 4 digits after
the decimal for both xmn and xmx.

Here is a sample code I am trying:

r <- raster(ncol=922, nrow=444)

bb <- extent(235.40625,292.96875,25.15625, 52.84375)

extent(r) <- bb

r <- setExtent(r, bb)

I have also tried to only set the extent and resolution but then I only get
921 columns and 443 rows.

r <- raster() bb <- extent(235.40625,292.96875,25.15625, 52.84375)
extent(r) <- bb res(r) <-0.06250 r <- setExtent(r, bb)

Any thought?

Best,

Safeeq
