Usage

lawn_point_on_line(line, point, lint = FALSE)

Arguments

line

line to snap to

point

point to snap from

lint

(logical) Lint or not. Uses geojsonhint. Takes up increasing time as the object to get linted increases in size, so probably use by default for small objects, but not for large if you know they are good geojson objects. Default: FALSE
