R/gdal_buildvirtualvector.R

In JanCaha/r_package_qgis: An extension of package "qgisprocess" providing direct R functions for QGIS functions

##' QGIS Algorithm provided by GDAL Build virtual vector (gdal:buildvirtualvector). This algorithm creates a virtual layer that contains a set of vector layers.  The output virtual layer will not be opened in the current project.
##'
##' @title QGIS algorithm - Build virtual vector
##'
##' @param INPUT `multilayer` - Input datasources. .
##' @param UNIONED `boolean` - Create "unioned" VRT. 1 for true/yes. 0 for false/no. field:FIELD_NAME to use a data defined value taken from the FIELD_NAME field. expression:SOME EXPRESSION to use a data defined value calculated using a custom QGIS expression.
##' @param OUTPUT `vectorDestination` - Virtual vector. Path for new vector layer.
##' @param ... further parameters passed to `qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm()`
##' @param .complete_output logical specifying if complete out of `qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm()` should be used (`TRUE`) or first output (most likely the main) should read (`FALSE`). Default value is `TRUE`.
##' @param .quiet logical specifying if parameter `.quiet` for `qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm()` Default value is `TRUE`.
##' @param .messages logical specifying if messages from `qgisprocess::qgis_run_algorithm()` should be printed (`TRUE`) or not (`FALSE`). Default value is `FALSE`.
