simplify: simplifyGeom geometries

In terra: Spatial Data Analysis

simplifyGeom geometries

Description

Reduce the number of nodes used to represent geometries.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'SpatVector'
simplifyGeom(x, tolerance=0.1, preserveTopology=TRUE, makeValid=TRUE)

Arguments

x	SpatVector of lines or polygons
tolerance	numeric. The minimum distance between nodes in units of the crs (i.e. degrees for long/lat)
preserveTopology	logical. If TRUE the topology of output geometries is preserved
makeValid	logical. If TRUE, makeValid is run after simplification to assure that the output polygons are valid

Value

SpatVector

Examples

f <- system.file("ex/lux.shp", package="terra")
v <- vect(f)
w <- simplifyGeom(v, .02, makeValid=FALSE)
e <- erase(w)
g <- gaps(e)
plot(e, lwd=5, border="light gray")
polys(g, col="red", border="red")
