randgeo generates random points and shapes in GeoJSON and WKT formats for use in examples, teaching, or statistical applications.
rg_position()
- random position (lon, lat)
geo_point()
- random GeoJSON point
geo_polygon()
- random GeoJSON polygon
wkt_point()
- random WKT point
wkt_polygon()
- random WKT polygon
Points and shapes are generated in the long/lat coordinate system and with appropriate spherical geometry; random points are distributed evenly across the globe, and random shapes are sized according to a maximum great-circle distance from the center of the shape.
randgeo was adapted from https://github.com/tmcw/geojson-random to have a pure R implementation without any dependencies as well as appropriate geometry. Data generated by randgeo may be processed or displayed of with packages such as sf, wicket, geojson, wellknown, geojsonio, or lawn.
