bboxSpatialPolygon: Convert a bounding box to a SpatialPolygons object Bounding...

In hddtools: Hydrological Data Discovery Tools

Description

Convert a bounding box to a SpatialPolygons object Bounding box is first created (in lat/lon) then projected if specified

Usage

bboxSpatialPolygon(boundingbox, proj4stringFrom = NULL, proj4stringTo = NULL)

Arguments

boundingbox	Bounding box: a 2x2 numerical matrix of lat/lon coordinates
proj4stringFrom	Projection string for the current boundingbox coordinates (defaults to lat/lon, WGS84)
proj4stringTo	Projection string, or NULL to not project

Value

A SpatialPolygons object of the bounding box

## Not run: 
  boundingbox <- raster::extent(-180, +180, -50, +50)
  bbSP <- bboxSpatialPolygon(boundingbox = boundingbox)
