rm_holes: Remove holes in a polygon

In IceCast: Apply Statistical Post-Processing to Improve Sea Ice Predictions

Description

Remove holes from a SpatialPolygons object. Note that this function differs from the function findHoles in that it only removes holes contained within the polygon itself, not gaps between the polygon and region boundaries

Usage

rm_holes(my_poly, poly_name = "notSpecified")

Arguments

my_poly	SpatialPolygon object
poly_name	character string to name polygon (defaults to "notSpecified")

Value

SpatialPolygon object with holes removed

Examples

with_holes <- bg_water[2]
plot(with_holes, col = "blue", main = "Polygon with Holes")
no_holes <- rm_holes(with_holes)
plot(no_holes, col = "blue", main = "Holes removed")
