filter_by_sf: Filter a GTFS object using a simple features object (deprecated)

Description

This function has been deprecated as of the current package version and will be completely removed from version 2.0.0 onward. Please use filter_by_spatial_extent() instead.

Filters a GTFS object using the geometry of an sf object, keeping (or dropping) entries related to shapes and trips selected through a spatial operation.

Usage

filter_by_sf(gtfs, geom, spatial_operation = sf::st_intersects, keep = TRUE)

Value

The GTFS object passed to the gtfs parameter, after the filtering process.

Arguments

gtfs

A GTFS object, as created by read_gtfs().

geom

An sf object. Describes the geometry used to filter the data.

spatial_operation

A spatial operation function from the set of options listed in geos_binary_pred (check the DE-I9M Wikipedia entry for the definition of each function). Defaults to sf::st_intersects, which tests if the shapes and trips have ANY intersection with the object specified in geom. Please note that geom is passed as the x argument of these functions.

keep

A logical. Whether the entries related to the shapes and trips that cross through the given geometry should be kept or dropped (defaults to TRUE, which keeps the entries).

bbox <- sf::st_bbox(shape_sf)
object.size(gtfs)

# keeps entries that intersect with the specified polygon
smaller_gtfs <- filter_by_sf(gtfs, bbox)
object.size(smaller_gtfs)

# drops entries that intersect with the specified polygon
smaller_gtfs <- filter_by_sf(gtfs, bbox, keep = FALSE)
object.size(smaller_gtfs)

# uses a different function to filter the gtfs
smaller_gtfs <- filter_by_sf(gtfs, bbox, spatial_operation = sf::st_contains)
object.size(smaller_gtfs)
