The following functions in the `raster` package are designed to work with cell indexes.

`fun(r, cell)`

- `[`
- `adjacent`
- `colFromCell`
- `extentFromCells`
- `rasterFromCells`
- `rowColFromCell`
- `rowFromCell`
- `validCell`
- `xyFromCell`
- `xFromCell`
- `yFromCell`

The following functions will return cell indexes.

`fun(r, query)` to return cells

- `cellFromCol`
- `cellFromLine`
- `cellFromPolygon`
- `cellFromRow`
- `cellFromRowCol`
- `cellFromRowColCombine`
- `cellFromXY`
- `cellsFromExtent`
- `fourCellsFromXY`

Others

- `setValues` will work as `fun(r, vals, index)` only for `RasterLayerSparse`
- `extent(Raster, r1, r2, c1, c2)` to crop an extent by row/column
