In a-benini/sfhelpers: Helper Functions for Wrapping Simple Features-Related Routines

sfhelpers 0.0.0.9006

• replace lwgeom::st_perimeter() by sf::st_perimeter() / update to sf >= 1.0.15.
• minor improvements.

sfhelpers 0.0.0.9005

• improve README and help pages.
• remove raster and sp from the suggested packages.

sfhelpers 0.0.0.9004

• add summary statistical functions for sfg, sfc and sf objects:
• st_geometry_summary()
• st_area_sum()
• st_length_sum()
• st_perimeter_sum()
• st_perimeter_2d_sum()
• add function st_layers_as_df()
• make returns of st_erase_robust() and st_or() reliable by abandoning internal use of st_union(st_combine()) in any case. And therefore also abandoning argument use_st_combine. Instead, only st_union() is used, which may slow down st_erase_robust() and st_or().
• abandon argument check_overlap in st_or() and st_erase_robust(). These functions now detect automatically which geometries from the input x and y overlap with those of the other layer and apply geometric operations only to such geometries. This change makes for shorter run times.
• fixed bug: st_rbindlist() now always stacks the active geometry columns of the listed sf-inputs. --> abandon argument use_geometry.
• fixed bug: st_bbox_common() / st_bbox_list() CRS check works.
• improve help pages.
• st_disaggregate() might fail if geometries of input have M-dimension. This due to changes in sf-package version 1.0-13 associated with st_cast(), on which st_disaggregate() is built. No quick fix yet.

sfhelpers 0.0.0.9003

• add function st_distance_along().
• add argument use_st_combine (default TRUE) to functions st_erase_robust() and st_or(). Setting use_st_combine to FALSE enforces internal use of st_union() instead of st_union(st_combine()). Leaving out st_combine() may make the erasing more reliable but also slower.
• replace arguments x.suffix and y.suffix by argument suffix in function st_or().
• minor improvements of functions.
• improved vignette and help pages.

sfhelpers 0.0.0.9002

• st_rename_geometry() function has been superseded because with sf package version >= 1.0-6 st_set_geometry() offers the same functionality.
• dependency of imported sf package set to version >= 1.0-6. This made it possible to replace package-internal dependency on functions sfhelpers::st_rename_geometry() and sfhelpers:::st_rename_geom() with sf::st_set_geometry() and sf::st_geometry()<-.
• more efficient homogenizing of active geometry columns of st_rbindlist() input.
• vignette rbindlist_issues updated.
• more efficient CRS check used within functions st_rbindlist(), st_bbox_list() and st_bbox_common().

sfhelpers 0.0.0.9001

• fixed bug: st_or() and st_erase_robust() return expected geometries.
• fixed bug: st_or() works with input layers having differently named geometry columns.
• fixed bug: st_or() works with input layers being totally covered by the other one.
• new argument check_overlap added to functions st_or() and st_erase_robust().
• redesign of argument dim and of internal handling of GEOMETRYCOLLECTION of function st_or() (s. examples of the function's help page).
• enable passing arguments on to s2::s2_options() in functions st_or() and st_erase_robust().
• function st_or() accepts sfg as input.
• include classes SpatExtent, SpatRaster and SpatVector from terra package as input options for functions st_bbox_common() and st_bbox_list().
• added st_disaggregate() function.
• abandon use_any_geometry argument in function st_rbindlist(): The function can now handle lists of sf-objects having different geometry_types without any need to specify this.
• if the argument geometry_name is unspecified (default NULL), the function st_rbindlist() will always return a sf object with a geometry column inheriting its name from the 1st sf object listed in the input.
• vignette rbindlist_issues updated.

sfhelpers 0.0.0.9000

• 1st release on GitHub
• 6 functions
• st_bbox_common()
• st_bbox_list()
• st_erase_robust()
• st_or()
• st_rbindlist()
• st_rename_geometry()
• 2 demo sf objects with partly identically named attribute columns and party overlapping geometries / polygons
• poly_1
• poly_2
• 1 vignette
• rbindlist_issues detailing some issues and workarounds related to sf::st_as_sf(data.table::rbindllist(<list_of_sf>))
