river_buffer: Draw a corridor as a fixed buffer region around a river.

In rcrisp: Automate the Delineation of Urban River Spaces

Draw a corridor as a fixed buffer region around a river.

Description

The river geometry may consist of multiple spatial features, these are optionally cropped using the area of interest, then merged after applying the buffer.

Usage

river_buffer(river, buffer_distance, bbox = NULL, side = NULL)

Arguments

river	A simple feature geometry representing the river
buffer_distance	Size of the buffer (in the river's CRS units)
bbox	Bounding box defining the extent of the area of interest
side	Whether to generate a single-sided buffer with a "flat" end. This is only applicable if river is a (multi)linestring geometry. Choose between NULL (double-sided), "right" and "left"

Value

A simple feature geometry
