In lwgeom: Bindings to Selected 'liblwgeom' Functions for Simple Features

Description

Return a collection of geometries resulting by splitting a geometry

Usage

st_split(x, y)

Arguments

x	object with geometries to be splitted
y	object split with (blade); if y contains more than one feature geometry, the geometries are st_combine 'd

Value

object of the same class as x

Examples

library(sf)
l = st_as_sfc('MULTILINESTRING((10 10, 190 190), (15 15, 30 30, 100 90))')
pt = st_sfc(st_point(c(30,30)))
st_split(l, pt)
