Description

Creates a vector minimum bounding rectangle around vector features.

Usage

wbt_minimum_bounding_box(
  input,
  output,
  criterion = "area",
  features = TRUE,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Value

Returns the tool text outputs.

Arguments

input

Input vector file path. See wbt_file_path() for details.

output

Output vector polygon file.

criterion

Minimization criterion; options include 'area' (default), 'length', 'width', and 'perimeter'.

features

Find the minimum bounding rectangles around each individual vector feature.

wd

Changes the working directory. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_wd() for details.

verbose_mode

Sets verbose mode. If verbose mode is FALSE, tools will not print output messages. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_verbose() for details.

compress_rasters

Sets the flag used by 'WhiteboxTools' to determine whether to use compression for output rasters. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_compress_rasters() for details.
