This is an R wrapper for the 'ogrlineref' function that is part of the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL). It follows the parameter naming conventions of the original function, with some modifications to allow for more R-like parameters. For all parameters, the user can use a single character string following, precisely, the gdalinfo format (http://gdal.org/ogrlineref.html), or, in some cases, can use R vectors to achieve the same end.
The utility can be used for:
create linear reference file from input data
return the "linear referenced" distance for the projection of the input coordinates (point) on the path
return the coordinates (point) on the path according to the "linear referenced" distance
return the portion of the path according to the "linear referenced" begin and end distances
The ogrlineref program can be used to create a linear reference - a file containing a segments of special length (e.g. 1 km in reference units) and get coordinates, linear referenced distances or sublines (subpaths) from this file. The utility not required the M or Z values in geometry. The results can be stored in any OGR supported format. Also some information writed to the stdout.
This function assumes the user has a working GDAL on their system. If the "gdalUtils_gdalPath" option has been set (usually by gdal_setInstallation), the GDAL found in that path will be used. If nothing is found, gdal_setInstallation will be executed to attempt to find a working GDAL.
