Hi,
In general you won't be happy with column (or row) binding if you are
starting out with vectors of varying lengths. That's cbind and rbind
are what I call rectangle-centric. They want to produce rectangular
data, like matrices and data.frames. How do they make a rectangle
from 6 vectors of varying lengths?
You don't say but I suspect that you are using either the raster or
terra packages. Are you extracting different points from each of the
six layers? If that is the case you could make a single long table of
the extracted values...
eA <- data.frame(name = "A", value = extract(rasterA, xyA)
eB <- data.frame(name = "B", value = extract(rasterB, xyB)
...
r <- do.call(rbind, list(eA, eB, ...))
I'm not sure if this is valuable to you or not, but below is an
example of a multilayer SpatRaster. It won't work if your 6 raster
layers have different sizes and extents. A set of 3 points are
extracted (one row per point) from the three layers.
f <- system.file("ex/meuse.tif", package="terra")
r <- rast(f)
r <- c(r, r*10, r*100)
names(r) <- LETTERS[1:3]
xy <- cbind(179000, 33)
xy <- rbind(xy-100, xy, xy+1000)
extract(r, xy)
#AB C
#1 378 3780 37800
#2 251 2510 25100
#3 208 2080 20800
