buffeRs basic usage

In buffeRs: Buffer Generation for Spatial Models

buffeRs basic use

buffeRs will create non-standard buffer geometries around an input point (created by the sf package), and has the following functions:

1. buffer_wedge() creates a wedge-shaped geometry
2. buffer_semicircle() creates a semicircular geometry
3. buffer_windrose() creates a windrose shaped geometry
4. buffer_rectangle() creates a rectangular shaped geometry
5. buffer_square() creates a square shaped geometry

One example would be to build a wedge-shaped buffer with buffer_wedge().

library(buffeRs)
example(buffer_wedge)

We can also create a different wedge, like this:

buffer_wedge(point = example_point, radius = 200, degree = 227, degree_width = 25) -> example_wedge2
plot(example_wedge2)

Other geometries are similarly straightfoward, and all functions have parameters to change the radius and the angle of the object.

buffer_windrose() is more complex, and requires the input of a wind frequency table, in the format provided by openair::windRose()$data

example(buffer_windrose)
