S2 Geography Accessors

Accessors extract information about geography vectors.

s2_is_collection(x)

s2_dimension(x)

s2_num_points(x)

s2_is_empty(x)

s2_area(x, radius = s2_earth_radius_meters())

s2_length(x, radius = s2_earth_radius_meters())

s2_perimeter(x, radius = s2_earth_radius_meters())

s2_x(x)

s2_y(x)

s2_distance(x, y, radius = s2_earth_radius_meters())

s2_max_distance(x, y, radius = s2_earth_radius_meters())

Arguments

x, y	geography vectors. These inputs are passed to as_s2_geography(), so you can pass other objects (e.g., character vectors of well-known text) directly.
radius	Radius of the earth. Defaults to the average radius of the earth in meters as defined by s2_earth_radius_meters().
