hydroloom (version 1.1.0)

fix_flowdir: Fix Flow Direction

Description

If flowlines aren't digitized in the expected direction, this will reorder the nodes so they are.

Usage

fix_flowdir(id, network = NULL, fn_list = NULL)

Value

a geometry for the feature that has been reversed if needed.

Arguments

id

integer The id of the flowline to check

network

data.frame network compatible with hydroloom_names.

fn_list

list containing named elements flowline, network, and check_end, where flowline is the flowline to be checked and network the feature up or downstream of the flowline to be checked, and check_end is "start" or "end" depending if the network input is upstream ("start") or downstream ("end") of the flowline to be checked. This option allows pre-compilation of pairs of features which may be useful for very large numbers of flow direction checks.

Examples

x <- sf::read_sf(system.file("extdata/new_hope.gpkg", package = "hydroloom"))

# We add a tocomid with prepare_nhdplus
x <- add_toids(hy(x))

# Look at the end node of the 10th line.
(n1 <- get_node(x[10, ], position = "end"))

# Break the geometry by reversing it.
sf::st_geometry(x)[10] <- sf::st_reverse(sf::st_geometry(x)[10])

# Note that the end node is different now.
(n2 <- get_node(x[10, ], position = "end"))

# Pass the broken geometry to fix_flowdir with the network for toCOMID
sf::st_geometry(x)[10] <- fix_flowdir(x$id[10], x)

# Note that the geometry is now in the right order.
(n3 <- get_node(x[10, ], position = "end"))

plot(sf::st_geometry(x)[10])
plot(n1, add = TRUE)
plot(n2, add = TRUE, col = "blue")
plot(n3, add = TRUE, cex = 2, col = "red")
