geos_intersection: Binary geometry operators

In geos: Open Source Geometry Engine ('GEOS') R API

Binary geometry operators

Description

• geos_intersection() returns the set of points common to both x and y.

• geos_difference() returns the set of points from x that are not contained by y.

• geos_sym_difference() returns the set of points that are not common to x and y.

• geos_union() returns the set of points contained by either x or y.

• geos_shared_paths() returns a GEOMETRYCOLLECTION containing two MULTILINESTRINGS: the first containing paths in the same direction, the second containing common paths in the opposite direction.

• geos_snap() snaps the vertices of x within tolerance of y to y.

Usage

geos_intersection(geom1, geom2)

geos_difference(geom1, geom2)

geos_sym_difference(geom1, geom2)

geos_union(geom1, geom2)

geos_intersection_prec(geom1, geom2, grid_size)

geos_difference_prec(geom1, geom2, grid_size)

geos_sym_difference_prec(geom1, geom2, grid_size)

geos_union_prec(geom1, geom2, grid_size)

geos_shared_paths(geom1, geom2)

geos_snap(geom1, geom2, tolerance = .Machine$double.eps^2)

geos_clearance_line_between(geom1, geom2, prepare = FALSE)

Arguments

geom1, geom2	GEOS geometry vectors, recycled to a common length.
grid_size	For ⁠_prec()⁠ variants, the grid size such that all vertices of the resulting geometry will lie on the grid.
tolerance	The maximum separation of vertices that should be considered equal.
prepare	Use prepared geometries to calculate clearance line

Value

A GEOS geometry vector along the recycled length of geom1 and geom2.

Examples

poly1 <- "POLYGON ((0 0, 0 10, 10 10, 10 0, 0 0))"
poly2 <- "POLYGON ((5 5, 5 15, 15 15, 15 5, 5 5))"

geos_intersection(poly1, poly2)
geos_difference(poly1, poly2)
geos_sym_difference(poly1, poly2)
geos_union(poly1, poly2)

line <- "LINESTRING (11 0, 11 10)"
geos_snap(poly1, line, tolerance = 2)

geos_shared_paths("LINESTRING (0 0, 1 1, 2 2)", "LINESTRING (3 3, 2 2, 1 1)")
