convert_to_point: Convert Geometries to Points and Reproject to WGS84

Description

This function converts geometries (points, lines, polygons) to their centroid points and reprojects them to WGS84.

Usage

convert_to_point(data, target_crs = 4326)

Value

An sf object with point geometries reprojected to the target CRS.

Arguments

data

An sf object containing geometries.

target_crs

The target coordinate reference system (default is WGS84, EPSG:4326).

Examples

# \donttest{
  library(sf)
  library(dplyr)

  # Create example data with a CRS
  lines <- st_sf(
    id = 1:5,
    geometry = st_sfc(
      st_linestring(matrix(c(0,0, 1,1), ncol=2, byrow=TRUE)),
      st_linestring(matrix(c(1,1, 2,2), ncol=2, byrow=TRUE)),
      st_linestring(matrix(c(2,2, 3,3), ncol=2, byrow=TRUE)),
      st_linestring(matrix(c(3,3, 4,4), ncol=2, byrow=TRUE)),
      st_linestring(matrix(c(4,4, 5,5), ncol=2, byrow=TRUE))
    ),
    crs = 4326 # Assign WGS84 CRS
  )

  # Convert geometries to points
  points <- convert_to_point(lines)
# }
