write_shape: write_shape

In IREA-CNR-MI/sprawl: sprawl: Spatial Processing (in) R: Advanced Workflows Library

Description

Wrapper on sf::st_write for writing an sf or sp object to disk as an ESRI shapefile

Usage

write_shape(out_obj, out_file, overwrite = FALSE, verbose = FALSE,
  encoding = "UTF-8", create_dir = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

out_obj	character object to be written to the shapefile. Must be a valid *sp or sf object
out_file	character output file name
overwrite	logical if TRUE, output file will be overwritten oif existing, Default: FALSE
verbose	logical if TRUE, provide messages on processing, Default: TRUE
encoding	character encoding to be used to write the DBF of the shapefile, Default: "UTF-8"
create_dir	logical, if TRUE and the folder of out_file doesn't exist, then the full folder tree up to out_file is created, Default: FALSE (use with caution !)
...	any other arguments to be passed to sf::st_write

Examples

## Not run: 
# build a spatialpoints data frame
pts                <- cbind(1:5, 1:5)
dimnames(pts)[[1]] <- letters[1:5]
df                 <-  data.frame(a = 1:5)
row.names(df)      <- letters[5:1]
points             <- sp::SpatialPointsDataFrame(pts, df, match.ID = TRUE)

# Save it to a shape file
out_file  = tempfile(pattern = "test", tmpdir = tempdir(), fileext = ".shp")
mysp_object = points
write_shape(mysp_object, out_file, overwrite = TRUE)

## End(Not run)
