Convert and tranform bounding boxes

Source: R/sf_bbox_misc.R
sf_bbox_misc.Rd

Simple bounding box functions that you can use to:

  • Convert a bounding box to a simple feature object (sf_bbox_to_sf()) or simple feature collection (sf_bbox_to_sfc())

  • Transform the coordinate reference system (sf_bbox_transform())

  • Return a point from any of the corners, center, or midpoints (sf_bbox_point())

  • Convert a bounding box to a SQL style query (sf_bbox_to_lonlat_query()), well known text (sf_bbox_to_wkt())

  • Convert a point and a corresponding bounding box into into a npc (normalised parent coordinates) value with sf_bbox_to_npc()

Usage

sf_bbox_to_sf(bbox, sf_col = "geometry")

sf_bbox_to_sfc(bbox)

sf_bbox_transform(bbox, crs = NULL)

sf_bbox_point(bbox, point = NULL, crs = NULL, call = caller_env())

sf_bbox_to_wkt(bbox, crs = NULL)

sf_bbox_to_lonlat_query(bbox, coords = c("longitude", "latitude"), crs = 4326)

sf_bbox_to_npc(bbox, point)

Arguments

bbox

A bbox object.

sf_col

name to use for geometry column after converting to simple feature object; defaults to "geometry".

crs

A coordinate reference system to use for sf_bbox_to_lonlat_query() (defaults to 4326) or for resulting bounding box (sf_bbox_transform()) or sfc object (sf_bbox_point()) (defaults to NULL).

point

point to find npc coords for center

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.

coords

Column names with coordinates for query. e.g. c("X", "Y") or c("longitude", "latitude") (default). Used by sf_bbox_to_lonlat_query() only.

Value

sf object
