cells_to_multipolygon: Get geometry for a set of H3 cells

In h3jsr: Access Uber's H3 Library

Get geometry for a set of H3 cells

Description

This function returns geometry associated with a set of H3 cells, as a single sfc_MULTIPOLYGON.

Usage

cells_to_multipolygon(h3_addresses = NULL, simple = TRUE)

Arguments

h3_addresses	Character vector or list of 15-character cell indices generated by H3.
simple	Logical; whether to return an sfc_MULTIPOLYGON or an sf object including the input cells.

Value

By default, object of type sfc_MULTIPOLYGON of length 1.

Note

The geometry returned by this function will not be valid where the addresses supplied overlap at the same resolution. The main use case for this function appears to be visualising the outputs of polygon_to_cells and compact.

Examples

## Not run: 
# Give me the outline of the cells around Brisbane Town Hall at
# resolution 10 (not run as slow-ish)
bth <- sf::st_sfc(sf::st_point(c(153.023503, -27.468920)), crs = 4326)
bth_10 <- point_to_h3(bth, res = 10)
bth_patch <- get_disk(h3_address = bth_10, ring_size = 2)
bth_patch_sf <- cells_to_multipolygon(bth_patch)

## End(Not run)
