join: Merge two spatial 'slendr' objects into one

In slendr: A Simulation Framework for Spatiotemporal Population Genetics

Merge two spatial slendr objects into one

Description

Merge two spatial slendr objects into one

Usage

join(x, y, name = NULL)

Arguments

x	Object of the class slendr
y	Object of the class slendr
name	Optional name of the resulting geographic region. If missing, name will be constructed from the function arguments.

Value

Object of the class slendr_region which encodes a standard spatial object of the class sf with several additional attributes (most importantly a corresponding slendr_map object, if applicable).

Examples

# create a blank abstract world 1000x1000 distance units in size
blank_map <- world(xrange = c(0, 1000), yrange = c(0, 1000), landscape = "blank")

# it is possible to construct custom landscapes (islands, corridors, etc.)
island1 <- region("island1", polygon = list(c(10, 30), c(50, 30), c(40, 50), c(0, 40)))
island2 <- region("island2", polygon = list(c(60, 60), c(80, 40), c(100, 60), c(80, 80)))
island3 <- region("island3", center = c(20, 80), radius = 10)
archipelago <- island1 %>% join(island2) %>% join(island3)

custom_map <- world(xrange = c(1, 100), c(1, 100), landscape = archipelago)

# real Earth landscapes can be defined using freely-available Natural Earth
# project data and with the possibility to specify an appropriate Coordinate
# Reference System, such as this example of a map of Europe

real_map <- world(xrange = c(-15, 40), yrange = c(30, 60), crs = "EPSG:3035")
