geo2topo: GeoJSON to TopoJSON and back

In geojsonio: Convert Data from and to 'GeoJSON' or 'TopoJSON'

Description

GeoJSON to TopoJSON and back

Usage

geo2topo(x, object_name = "foo", quantization = 0, ...)

topo2geo(x, ...)

Arguments

x	GeoJSON or TopoJSON as a character string, json, a file path, or url
object_name	(character) name to give to the TopoJSON object created. Default: "foo"
quantization	(numeric) quantization parameter, use this to quantize geometry prior to computing topology. Typical values are powers of ten (1e4, 1e5, ...), default is 0 to not perform quantization. For more information about quantization, see this by Mike Bostock https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18900022/topojson-quantization-vs-simplification/18921214#18921214
...	for geo2topo args passed on to jsonlite::fromJSON(), and for topo2geo args passed on to sf::st_read()

Value

An object of class json, of either GeoJSON or TopoJSON

Examples

# geojson to topojson
x <- '{"type": "LineString", "coordinates": [ [100.0, 0.0], [101.0, 1.0] ]}'
z <- geo2topo(x)
jsonlite::prettify(z)
## Not run: 
library(leaflet)
leaflet() %>%
  addProviderTiles(provider = "Stamen.Terrain") %>%
  addTopoJSON(z)

## End(Not run)

# geojson to topojson as a list
x <- list(
 '{"type": "LineString", "coordinates": [ [100, 0], [101, 1] ]}',

)

# change the object name created
x <- '{"type": "LineString", "coordinates": [ [100.0, 0.0], [101.0, 1.0] ]}'
