as.geojson: Methods to coerce geographical coordinates into a geojson polygon

Description

Take single points from geographical coordinates and coerce into a geojson of geometry 'Polygon'

Usage

as.geojson(lonlat, dist = 1e-05, nQuadSegs = 2L, ...)
# S3 method for default
as.geojson(lonlat, dist = 1e-05, nQuadSegs = 2L, ...)
# S3 method for sf
as.geojson(lonlat, dist = 1e-05, nQuadSegs = 2L, ...)

Value

An object of class 'geosjon' for each row in lonlat

Arguments

lonlat

a data.frame or matrix with geographical coordinates 'lonlat', in that order, or an object of class sf with geometry type 'POINT' or 'POLYGON'

dist

numeric, buffer distance for all lonlat

nQuadSegs

integer, number of segments per quadrant

...

further arguments passed to sf methods

Examples

if (FALSE) { # interactive()
# Default S3 Method
# random geographic points within bbox(10, 12, 45, 47)
library("sf")

set.seed(123)
lonlat = data.frame(lon = runif(1, 10, 12),
                     lat = runif(1, 45, 47))

gjson = as.geojson(lonlat)
