Description

Functions called internally by secr and not exported.

Usage

boundarytoSF (poly)

Value

boundarytoSF -- Spatial object of sf class sfc, containing a geometry set of type POLYGON or MULTIPOLYGON. NULL input results in NULL output.

Arguments

poly

data to define one or more polygons

Details

The function boundarytoSF converts various possible polygon input formats to a standard form (sfc).

Possible inputs are:

Input	From	Note
2-column matrix or dataframe	base R	SpatialPolygons
sp	SpatialPolygonsDataFrame	sp
SpatVector	terra	sf
sf	geometry type POLYGON or MULTIPOLYGON	sfc
sf	geometry type POLYGON or MULTIPOLYGON

Matrix input defines a single polygon.
