geometr (version 0.2.10)

geometr: geometr: Generate and Modify Interoperable Geometric Shapes

Description

The geometr package provides tools that generate and process easily accessible and tidy geometric shapes (of class geom). Moreover, it aims to improve interoperability of spatial and other geometric classes. Spatial classes are typically a collection of geometric shapes (or their vertices) that are accompanied by various metadata (such as attributes and a coordinate reference system). Most spatial classes are thus conceptually quite similar, yet a common standard lacks for accessing features, vertices or the metadata. Geometr fills this gap by providing tools

  • that produce an identical output for the same metadata of different classes (via so-called getters) and

  • that use an identical input to write to various classes that originally require different input (via so-called setters).
