Convert HexData to sf Object — as

Converts a HexData object to an sf spatial features object. Can create either point geometries (cell centers) or polygon geometries (cell boundaries).

Usage

as_sf(x, geometry = c("point", "polygon"), ...)

Arguments

x: A HexData object
geometry: Type of geometry: "point" (default) or "polygon"
...: Additional arguments (ignored)

Value

An sf object

Details

For point geometry, cell centers (cell_cen_lon, cell_cen_lat) are used. For polygon geometry, cell boundaries are computed using the grid specification.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
result <- hexify(df, lon = "lon", lat = "lat", area_km2 = 1000)

# Get sf points
sf_pts <- as_sf(result)

# Get sf polygons
sf_poly <- as_sf(result, geometry = "polygon")
} # }
