Description

convert foreign geometry object to an sfc object

Usage

st_as_sfc(x, ...)
"st_as_sfc"(x, ...)
"st_as_sfc"(x, ...)
"st_as_sfc"(x, ...)
"st_as_sfc"(x, ..., forceMulti = FALSE)
"st_as_sfc"(x, ..., forceMulti = FALSE)
"st_as_sfc"(x, ..., EWKB = FALSE)

Arguments

x

object to convert

...

further arguments

forceMulti

logical; if TRUE, force coercion into MULTIPOLYGON or MULTILINE objects, else autodetect

EWKB

logical; if TRUE, parse as EWKB (PostGIS: ST_AsEWKB), otherwise as ISO WKB (PostGIS: ST_AsBinary)

Details

when converting from WKB, the object x is either a character vector such as typically obtained from PostGIS (either with leading "0x" or without), or a list with raw vectors representing the features in binary form.

Examples

wkb = structure(list("01010000204071000000000000801A064100000000AC5C1441"), class = "WKB")
st_as_sfc(wkb, EWKB = TRUE)
wkb = structure(list("0x01010000204071000000000000801A064100000000AC5C1441"), class = "WKB")
st_as_sfc(wkb, EWKB = TRUE)
