ddbs_make_valid: Make invalid geometries valid

Description

Attempts to make invalid geometries valid from a DuckDB table using the spatial extension. Returns the result as an sf object or creates a new table in the database.

Usage

ddbs_make_valid(
  x,
  conn = NULL,
  name = NULL,
  crs = NULL,
  crs_column = "crs_duckspatial",
  overwrite = FALSE,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Value

an sf object with valid geometries or TRUE (invisibly) for table creation

Arguments

x

An sf spatial object. Alternatively, it can be a string with the name of a table with geometry column within the DuckDB database conn. Data is returned from this object.

conn

A connection object to a DuckDB database. If NULL, the function runs on a temporary DuckDB database.

name

A character string of length one specifying the name of the table, or a character string of length two specifying the schema and table names. If NULL (the default), the function returns the result as an sf object

crs

The coordinates reference system of the data. Specify if the data doesn't have a crs_column, and you know the CRS.

crs_column

Name of the column to store CRS information. Default is "crs_duckspatial".

overwrite

Boolean. whether to overwrite the existing table if it exists. Defaults to FALSE. This argument is ignored when name is NULL.

quiet

A logical value. If TRUE, suppresses any informational messages. Defaults to FALSE.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
## load packages
library(duckspatial)
library(sf)

# create a duckdb database in memory (with spatial extension)
conn <- ddbs_create_conn(dbdir = "memory")

## read data
countries_sf <- st_read(system.file("spatial/countries.geojson", package = "duckspatial"))

## store in duckdb
ddbs_write_vector(conn, countries_sf, "countries")

## make valid
ddbs_make_valid("countries", conn)

## make valid without using a connection
ddbs_make_valid(countries_sf)
}
