lines_direction: Unify lines direction

Description

A function to deal with the directions of lines. It ensures that only From-To situation are present by reverting To-From lines. For the lines labelled as To-From, the order of their vertices is reverted.

Usage

lines_direction(lines, field)

A SpatialLinesDataFrame

Examples

# NOT RUN {
networkgpkg <- system.file("extdata", "networks.gpkg", package = "spNetwork", mustWork = TRUE)
mtl_network <- rgdal::readOGR(networkgpkg,layer="mtl_network", verbose=FALSE)
mtl_network$length <- rgeos::gLength(mtl_network, byid = TRUE)
mtl_network$direction <- "Both"
mtl_network[6, "direction"] <- "TF"
mtl_network_directed <- lines_direction(mtl_network, "direction")
