  profile.length,
  crs = st_crs(start),
  return.sf = TRUE
)

Value

class depends on return.sf.

Arguments

start

sf point object.

profile.azimuth

numeric or units object. Direction of profile in degrees if numeric.

Examples

p1 <- data.frame(lon = -90.8, lat = 48.6) |>
  sf::st_as_sf(coords = c("lon", "lat"), crs = "WGS84")
profile_points(p1,
  profile.azimuth = 135, profile.length = units::set_units(10, "km"),
  crs = sf::st_crs("EPSG:26915")
)
