  shape,
  size,
  return_vec = TRUE,
  crs = "",
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

coords	SpatVector, sf object or 2-column matrix with coordinates of sample points
shape	String specifying plot shape. Either "circle" or "square"
size	Size of sample plot. Equals the radius for circles or the side-length for squares in map units
return_vec	If TRUE, vector objects are returned.
crs	The coordinate reference system used for vector objects.
verbose	Print warning messages.

Value

matrix or SpatVector object

Examples

coords <- matrix(c(10, 5, 25, 15, 5, 25), ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE)
