split_lines_at_vertex: Split lines at vertices in a feature collection of linestrings

Description

Split lines (feature collection of linestrings) at their nearest vertices (feature collection of points), may fail if the line geometries are self intersecting.

Usage

split_lines_at_vertex(lines, points, nearest_lines_idx, mindist)

Arguments

lines

The feature collection of linestrings to split

points

The feature collection of points to add to as vertex to the lines

nearest_lines_idx

For each point, the index of the nearest line

mindist

The minimum distance between one point and the extremity of the line to add the point as a vertex.

Value

A feature collection of linestrings
