point: Make WKT point objects

Description

Make WKT point objects

Usage

point(..., fmt = 16, third = "z")

Arguments

...

A GeoJSON-like object representing a Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPolygon, etc.

fmt

Format string which indicates the number of digits to display after the decimal point when formatting coordinates. Max: 20

third

(character) Only applicable when there are three dimensions. If m, assign a M value for a measurement, and if z assign a Z value for three-dimenionsal system. Case is ignored. An M value represents a measurement, while a Z value usually represents altitude (but can be something like depth in a water based location).

Details

The third parameter is used only when there are sets of three points, and you can toggle whether the object gets a Z or M.

When four points are included, the object automatically gets assigned ZM
