Yep. In a few of my other libraries I’ve made use of sf objects, but without importing the sf library itself. This is by design because sf is quite a ‘heavy’ library.
Therefore I’ve written / copied these methods for constructing the sf objects across a few different libraries.
So I thought it would be useful to have these in one place. And here they are.
sf objects?Yes and No.
These functions do not perform any validity checks on the geometries. Nor do they set Coordinate Reference Systems, EPSG, PROJ4 or precision attributes.
What they do is convert R and Rcpp objects (vectors, matrices and data.frames) into the correct sf class structure, so you can then assign these values yourself.
Yes. Your data has to be ordered before coverting to sf.
They’re on the website. GO NOW!
(however, here’s a taster)
df <- data.frame(
id = c(1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2)
, x = c(1,2,2,1,1,3,4,4,3,3)
, y = c(1,1,2,2,1,3,3,4,4,3)
)
df$val <- letters[df$id]
sfheaders::sf_linestring( df, x = "x", y = "y", linestring_id = "id", keep = TRUE )
