gTouches | R Documentation |
Functions for testing if the geometries have at least one boundary point in common, but no interior points
gTouches(spgeom1, spgeom2 = NULL, byid = FALSE, returnDense=TRUE,
checkValidity=FALSE)
spgeom1, spgeom2 |
sp objects as defined in package sp. If spgeom2 is NULL then spgeom1 is compared to itself. |
byid |
Logical vector determining if the function should be applied across ids (TRUE) or the entire object (FALSE) for spgeom1 and spgeom2 |
returnDense |
default TRUE, if false returns a list of the length of spgeom1 of integer vectors listing the |
checkValidity |
default FALSE; error meesages from GEOS do not say clearly which object fails if a topology exception is encountered. If this argument is TRUE, |
Returns TRUE if the intersection of the boundaries of the two geometries is not empty.
Error messages from GEOS, in particular topology exceptions, report 0-based object order, so geom 0 is spgeom1, and geom 1 is spgeom2.
