The difference between clip_box and slice_xy

[tqa236]

Hello,

First of all, thank you very much for this awesome package!

I have a question regarding 2 quite similar methods, clip_box and slice_xy. Are they doing the same thing or there are some subtle differences?

We used clip_box before but discover that slice_xy is much faster when (supposedly) doing the same job.

If they are indeed different, in which situation should we use each of them?

Best,
Anh

rio.clip_box considers the grid cell in its entirety whereas rio.slice_xy only considers the centroid of the cell.
