intersect: Intersection of two GVectors

In adamlilith/fasterRaster: Faster Raster and Spatial Vector Processing Using 'GRASS GIS'

Intersection of two GVectors

Description

The intersect() function selects the area of overlap between two GVectors of the same type (points, lines or polygons). You can also use the * operator (e.g., vect1 * vect2).

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'GVector,GVector'
intersect(x, y)

Arguments

x, y

GVectors.

Value

A GVector.

Examples

if (grassStarted()) {

# Setup
library(sf)

# Polygon of coastal Madagascar and Dypsis specimens
madCoast4 <- fastData("madCoast4") # polygons
madDypsis <- fastData("madDypsis") # points

# Convert vectors:
coast4 <- fast(madCoast4)
dypsis <- fast(madDypsis)

# Create another polygons vector from a convex hull around Dypsis points
hull <- convHull(dypsis)

### union()
###########

unioned <- union(coast4, hull)
plot(unioned)

plus <- coast4 + hull # same as union()

### intersect
#############

inter <- intersect(coast4, hull)
plot(coast4)
plot(hull, border = "red", add = TRUE)
plot(inter, border = "blue", add = TRUE)

### xor
#######

xr <- xor(coast4, hull)
plot(coast4)
plot(xr, border = "blue", add = TRUE)

### erase
#########

erased <- erase(coast4, hull)
plot(coast4)
plot(erased, border = "blue", add = TRUE)

minus <- coast4 - hull # same as erase()

}
