bbox_intersect: Bounding box intersection / union

In gdalraster: Bindings to the 'Geospatial Data Abstraction Library' Raster API

Bounding box intersection / union

Description

bbox_intersect() returns the bounding box intersection, and bbox_union() returns the bounding box union, for input of either raster file names or list of bounding boxes. All of the inputs must be in the same projected coordinate system.

Usage

bbox_intersect(x, as_wkt = FALSE)

bbox_union(x, as_wkt = FALSE)

Arguments

x	Either a character vector of raster file names, or a list with each element a bounding box numeric vector (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax).
as_wkt	Logical. TRUE to return the bounding box as a polygon in OGC WKT format, or FALSE to return as a numeric vector.

Value

The intersection (bbox_intersect()) or union (bbox_union()) of inputs. If as_wkt = FALSE, a numeric vector of length four containing xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax. If as_wkt = TRUE, a character string containing OGC WKT for the bbox as POLYGON.
