In hexify: Equal-Area Hex Grids on the 'Snyder' 'ISEA' 'Icosahedron'
grid_rect R Documentation
Generate a rectangular grid of hexagons
Description
Creates hexagon polygons covering a rectangular geographic region.
For H3 grids, all cells that overlap the bounding box are included
(not just cells whose center falls inside), ensuring full spatial coverage.
Usage
grid_rect(bbox, grid)
Arguments
bbox
Bounding box as c(xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax), or an sf/sfc object
grid
A HexGridInfo object specifying the grid parameters
Value
sf object with hexagon polygons
See Also
grid_global for global grids
Examples
grid <- hex_grid(area_km2 = 5000)
europe <- grid_rect(c(-10, 35, 30, 60), grid)
plot(europe)
