Convert a lon/lat or lat/lon coordinate pair to a sfc object

Usage

lonlat_to_sfc(
  x,
  range = getOption("sfext.coord_range", c(xmin = -180, ymin = -50, xmax = 180, ymax =
    60)),
  quiet = FALSE,
  call = parent.frame(),
  ...
)

Arguments

x

A length 2 numeric vector with geodetic coordinates in a EPSG:4326 coordinate reference system.

range

For lonlat_to_sfc(), an object that is coercible to a bbox object or a length 4 vector with names xmin, xmax, ymin, and ymax. If a coordinate pair falls outside the latitude/longitude range defined by the vector but inside the range if reversed, the coordinates are assumed to be in lat/lon order and are switched to lon/lat order before being converted to a point. Defaults to c("xmin" = -180, "ymin" = -50, "xmax" = 180, "ymax" = 60). Note that this default setting will reverse valid coordinates north of Anchorage, Alaska or south of New Zealand.

quiet

If TRUE, suppress alert messages when converting a lat/lon coordinate pair to a lon/lat pair. Defaults to FALSE.

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. caller_env(). The function will be mentioned in error messages as the source of the error. See the call argument of abort() for more information.

Arguments passed on to sf::st_sfc

precision

numeric; see st_as_binary

check_ring_dir

see st_read

dim

character; if this function is called without valid geometries, this argument may carry the right dimension to set empty geometries

recompute_bbox

logical; use TRUE to force recomputation of the bounding box
