gsection: Function to split overlapping SpatialLines into segments

Description

Divides SpatialLinesDataFrame objects into separate Lines. Each new Lines object is the aggregate of a single number of aggregated lines.

Usage

gsection(sl, buff_dist = 0)

Arguments

sl

SpatialLinesDataFrame with overlapping Lines to split by number of overlapping features.

buff_dist

A number specifying the distance in meters of the buffer to be used to crop lines before running the operation. If the distance is zero (the default) touching but non-overlapping lines may be aggregated.
