bind_cols.SpatVector: Bind multiple SpatVector sf and data frames objects by column

Description

Bind any number of SpatVector, data frames and sf object by column, making a wider result. This is similar to do.call(cbind, dfs).

Where possible prefer using a join to combine SpatVector and data frames objects. bind_spat_cols() binds the rows in order in which they appear so it is easy to create meaningless results without realizing it.

Usage

bind_spat_cols(
  ...,
  .name_repair = c("unique", "universal", "check_unique", "minimal")
)

Value

A SpatVector with the corresponding columns. The geometry and CRS would correspond to the the first SpatVector of ....

Arguments

...

Objects to combine. The first argument should be a SpatVector and each of the subsequent arguments can either be a SpatVector, a sf object or a data frame. Inputs are recycled to the same length, then matched by position.

.name_repair

One of "unique", "universal", or "check_unique". See dplyr::bind_cols() for Details.

cbind() method

Methods

Implementation of the dplyr::bind_rows() function for SpatVector objects. Note that for the second and subsequent arguments on ... the geometry would not be cbinded, and only the data frame (-ish) columns would be kept.

Examples

library(terra)
sv <- vect(system.file("extdata/cyl.gpkg", package = "tidyterra"))
df2 <- data.frame(letters = letters[seq_len(nrow(sv))])

# Data frame
bind_spat_cols(sv, df2)


# Another SpatVector
bind_spat_cols(sv[1:2, ], sv[3:4, ])

# sf objects
sfobj <- sf::read_sf(system.file("shape/nc.shp", package = "sf"))

bind_spat_cols(sv[1:9, ], sfobj[1:9, ])

# Mixed

end <- bind_spat_cols(sv, sfobj[seq_len(nrow(sv)), 1:2], df2)

end
glimpse(end)

# Row sizes must be compatible when column-binding
try(bind_spat_cols(sv, sfobj))
