bbox2sp {pedometrics}R Documentation

Create Spatial object from a bounding box

Description

This function takes the bounding box of a Spatial* object and creates a SpatialPoints* or SpatialPolygons* object from it.

Usage

bbox2sp(obj, sp = "SpatialPolygons", keep.crs = TRUE)

Arguments

obj

Object of class Spatial*.

sp

Class of the resulting object. Available options are "SpatialPoints", "SpatialPointsDataFrame", "SpatialPolygons" and "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame".

keep.crs

Logical for assigning the same coordinate reference system to the resulting Spatial* object.

Value

An object of class SpatialPoints* or SpatialPolygons*.

Note

Some of the solutions used to build this function were found in the source code of the R-package intamapInteractive. As such, the authors of that package, Edzer Pebesma <edzer.pebesma@uni-muenster.de> and Jon Skoien <jon.skoien@gmail.com>, are entitled ‘contributors’ to the R-package pedometrics.
