Transform or convert coordinates of simple feature
st_transform(x, crs, ...) # S3 method for sfc st_transform(x, crs, ..., partial = TRUE, check = FALSE, use_gdal = TRUE) # S3 method for sf st_transform(x, crs, ...) # S3 method for sfg st_transform(x, crs, ...) st_proj_info(type = "proj") st_wrap_dateline(x, options, quiet) # S3 method for sfc st_wrap_dateline(x, options = "WRAPDATELINE=YES", quiet = TRUE) # S3 method for sf st_wrap_dateline(x, options = "WRAPDATELINE=YES", quiet = TRUE) # S3 method for sfg st_wrap_dateline(x, options = "WRAPDATELINE=YES", quiet = TRUE)
Arguments
| x | object of class sf, sfc or sfg |
|---|---|
| crs | coordinate reference system: integer with the EPSG code, or character with proj4string |
| ... | ignored |
| partial | logical; allow for partial projection, if not all points of a geometry can be projected (corresponds to setting environment variable |
| check | logical; perform a sanity check on resulting polygons? |
| use_gdal | logical; this parameter is deprecated. For transformations using PROJ.4 directly rather than indirectly through GDAL, use st_transform_proj of package |
| type | character; one of |
| options | character; should have "WRAPDATELINE=YES" to function; another parameter that is used is "DATELINEOFFSET=10" (where 10 is the default value) |
| quiet | logical; print options after they have been parsed? |
Details
Transforms coordinates of object to new projection. Features that cannot be transformed are returned as empty geometries.
st_transform uses GDAL for coordinate transformations; internally, GDAL converts the proj4string into a well-known-text representation, before passing that on to PROJ.4. In this process, some information can get lost. Adding parameter +wktext to the proj4string definition may resolve this; see https://github.com/edzer/sp/issues/42.
Some PROJ.4 projections are not supported by GDAL, e.g. "+proj=wintri" because it does not have an inverse projection. Projecting to unsupported projections can be done by st_transform_proj, part of package lwgeom. Note that the unsupported proj4string cannot be passed as argument to st_crs, but has to be given as character string.
The st_transform method for sfg objects assumes that the CRS of the object is available as an attribute of that name.
st_proj_info lists the available projections, ellipses, datums or units supported by the Proj.4 library when type is equal to proj, ellps, datum or units; when type equals have_datum_files a boolean is returned indicating whether datum files are installed and accessible (checking for conus).
PROJ >= 6 does not provide option type = "datums". PROJ < 6 does not provide the option type = "prime_meridians".
