Thanks Edzer and Hengl. It works. But R is really shaking when large grids are processed. We wish there is improvement of sp in the future like GIS handling grids. Regards Yong

Have you tried Map1 <- Map[1:100,1:100] ? Note that this works differently for SpatialGridDataFrames and SpatialPixelsDataFrames; the first knows about [rows,cols,bands], the second about [pixels, bands]. -- Edzer Yong Li wrote: > Dear All, > > I want to subset a large spatial grid (2000*2000) into many smaller > grids for further processing in my simulation models.
