st: Create simple feature from a numeric vector, matrix or list

Description

Create simple feature from a numeric vector, matrix or list

Usage

st_point(x = c(NA_real_, NA_real_), dim = "XYZ")
st_multipoint(x = matrix(numeric(0), 0, 2), dim = "XYZ")
st_linestring(x = matrix(numeric(0), 0, 2), dim = "XYZ")
st_polygon(x = list(), dim = if (length(x)) "XYZ" else "XY")
st_multilinestring(x = list(), dim = if (length(x)) "XYZ" else "XY")
st_multipolygon(x = list(), dim = if (length(x)) "XYZ" else "XY")
st_geometrycollection(x = list(), dims = "XY")
# S3 method for sfg
print(x, ..., width = 0)
# S3 method for sfg
head(x, n = 10L, ...)
# S3 method for sfg
format(x, ..., width = 30)
# S3 method for sfg
c(..., recursive = FALSE, flatten = TRUE)
# S3 method for sfg
as.matrix(x, ...)

Arguments

x

for st_point, numeric vector (or one-row-matrix) of length 2, 3 or 4; for st_linestring and st_multipoint, numeric matrix with points in rows; for st_polygon and st_multilinestring, list with numeric matrices with points in rows; for st_multipolygon, list of lists with numeric matrices; for st_geometrycollection list with (non-geometrycollection) simple feature objects

dim

character, indicating dimensions: "XY", "XYZ", "XYM", or "XYZM"; only really needed for three-dimensional points (which can be either XYZ or XYM) or empty geometries; see details

dims

character; specify dimensionality in case of an empty (NULL) geometrycollection, in which case x is the empty list().

...

objects to be pasted together into a single simple feature

width

integer; number of characters to be printed (max 30; 0 means print everything)

n

integer; number of elements to be selected

recursive

logical; ignored

flatten

logical; if TRUE, try to simplify results; if FALSE, return geometrycollection containing all objects

Value

object of the same nature as x, but with appropriate class attribute set

as.matrix returns the set of points that form a geometry as a single matrix, where each point is a row; use unlist(x, recursive = FALSE) to get sets of matrices.

Details

"XYZ" refers to coordinates where the third dimension represents altitude, "XYM" refers to three-dimensional coordinates where the third dimension refers to something else ("M" for measure); checking of the sanity of x may be only partial.

When flatten=TRUE, this method may merge points into a multipoint structure, and may not preserve order, and hence cannot be reverted. When given fish, it returns fish soup.
