st_break_antimeridian: Break antimeridian for plotting not centred on Greenwich

Description

Longitudes can be broken at the antimeridian of a target central longitude to permit plotting of (usually world) line or polygon objects centred on the chosen central longitude. The method may only be used with non-projected, geographical coordinates and linestring or polygon objects. s2 is turned off internally to permit the use of a rectangular bounding box. If the input geometries go outside [-180, 180] degrees longitude, the protruding geometries will also be split using the same tol= values; in this case empty geometries will be dropped first.

Usage

st_break_antimeridian(x, lon_0 = 0, tol = 1e-04, ...)
# S3 method for sf
st_break_antimeridian(x, lon_0 = 0, tol = 1e-04, ...)
# S3 method for sfc
st_break_antimeridian(x, lon_0 = 0, tol = 1e-04, ...)

Arguments

x

object of class sf or sfc

lon_0

target central longitude (degrees)

tol

half of break width (degrees, default 0.0001)
