- dimension of expression
nominal
Operation
- If expression is a PCRaster map or a calculation resulting in a PCRaster map, it is converted: if expression is of one of the data types boolean, ordinal or ldd, the cell values on expression are assigned without change to the corresponding cells on Result; if expression is of data type scalar or direction, the values on expression are truncated.
- Or the operation generates a map of nominal data type with one constant value.
If expression is not a PCRaster map, a nominal Result is generated. This is the case if expression is a number. This number must be in the domain of the nominal map type, i.e. a whole value. Result will be a map with the same location attributes as the global clone map; all cells will have the value of expression.
Notes
A cell with missing value on expression is assigned a missing value on Result.
