construct_buffer: construct_buffer

Description

Internal function to construct plot area around coordinates

Usage

construct_buffer(coords, shape, size, return_sp, verbose)
# S3 method for SpatialPoints
construct_buffer(coords, shape, size, return_sp = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)
# S3 method for SpatialPointsDataFrame
construct_buffer(coords, shape, size, return_sp = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)
# S3 method for MULTIPOINT
construct_buffer(coords, shape, size, return_sp = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)
# S3 method for POINT
construct_buffer(coords, shape, size, return_sp = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)
# S3 method for sf
construct_buffer(coords, shape, size, return_sp = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)
# S3 method for sfc
construct_buffer(coords, shape, size, return_sp = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)
# S3 method for matrix
construct_buffer(coords, shape, size, return_sp = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

coords

SpatialPoints or 2-column matrix with coordinates of sample points

shape

String specifying plot shape. Either "circle" or "square"

size

Size of sample plot. Equals the radius for circles or the side-length for squares in mapunits

return_sp

If true, SpatialPolygons are returned.

verbose

Print warning messages.

Value

matrix or SpatialPolygons

Examples

# NOT RUN {
coords <- matrix(c(10, 5, 25, 15, 5, 25), ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE)
construct_buffer(coords = coords, shape = "square", size = 5)

# }
