aw_intersect: Intersect Source and Target Data

Description

aw_intersect intersects the source and target datasets and computes a new area field for the intersected data using the units associated with whatever project the data are currently in. This is the first step in the interpolation process after data validation and subsetting.

Usage

aw_intersect(.data, source, areaVar)

Arguments

.data

A sf object that data should be interpolated to

source

A sf object with data to be interpolated

areaVar

The name of the new area variable to be calculated.

Value

A sf object with the intersected data and new area field.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
library(dplyr)

race <- select(ar_stl_race, GEOID, TOTAL_E)
wards <- select(ar_stl_wards, WARD)

aw_intersect(wards, source = race, areaVar = "area")

# }
