Create an S2 Geography Vector

Geography vectors are arrays of points, lines, polygons, and/or collections of these. Geography vectors assume coordinates are longitude and latitude on a perfect sphere.

Usage

as_s2_geography(x, ...)

s2_geography()

# S3 method for class 's2_geography'
as_s2_geography(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'wk_xy'
as_s2_geography(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 'wk_wkb'
as_s2_geography(x, ..., oriented = FALSE, check = TRUE)

# S3 method for class 'WKB'
as_s2_geography(x, ..., oriented = FALSE, check = TRUE)

# S3 method for class 'blob'
as_s2_geography(x, ..., oriented = FALSE, check = TRUE)

# S3 method for class 'wk_wkt'
as_s2_geography(x, ..., oriented = FALSE, check = TRUE)

# S3 method for class 'character'
as_s2_geography(x, ..., oriented = FALSE, check = TRUE)

# S3 method for class 'logical'
as_s2_geography(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 's2_geography'
as_wkb(x, ...)

# S3 method for class 's2_geography'
as_wkt(x, ...)

Arguments

x

An object that can be converted to an s2_geography vector

...

Unused

oriented

TRUE if polygon ring directions are known to be correct (i.e., exterior rings are defined counter clockwise and interior rings are defined clockwise).

check

Use check = FALSE to skip error on invalid geometries

Value

An object with class s2_geography

Details

The coercion function as_s2_geography() is used to wrap the input of most functions in the s2 package so that you can use other objects with an unambiguious interpretation as a geography vector. Geography vectors have a minimal vctrs implementation, so you can use these objects in tibble, dplyr, and other packages that use the vctrs framework.
