extract_osm_objects: extract_osm_objects

Description

Downloads OSM XML objects and extracts 'sp' polygons or lines. Requires conversion to osmar object which can be quite slow, as can final conversion to sp object for large numbers of objects

Usage

extract_osm_objects(key = "building", value = NULL, extra_pairs = NULL,
  bbox = NULL, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

key

OSM key to search for. Useful keys include 'building', 'waterway', 'natural', 'grass', 'park', 'amenity', 'shop', 'boundary', and 'highway'. Others will be passed directly to the overpass API and may not necessarily return results.

extra_pairs

A list of additional key-value pairs to be passed to the overpass API.

bbox

verbose

If TRUE, provides notification of progress

Value

• A list of 2 components:
  1. obj: A data frame of sp objects
  2. warn: Any warnings produced in downloading the data
