LidarIndexR – Create polygon(s) representing the area covered by a tile index

Description

Creates a bounding polygon(s) given a set of point tile polygons. This is useful to create project polygons to display the areas covered by a lidar project.

Usage

BuildProjectPolygonFromIndex(
  indexFile,
  projectIdentifier,
  nx = 512,
  ny = 512,
  layer = "",
  outputCRS = NULL,
  appendInfo = NULL,
  outputFile = NULL,
  rebuild = FALSE,
  quiet = TRUE
)

Arguments

indexFile	Full path and filename on the local file system for the tile index file.
projectIdentifier	Character string containing an identifier for the project area. This will be added to each feature in the return sf object.
nx	Integer specifying the number of cells (width) of the raster used to merge polygons.
ny	Integer specifying the number of cells (height) of the raster used to merge polygons.
layer	Layer name in indexFile to use for the polygon creation.
outputCRS	A valid projection string that can be used with the crs parameter in st_transform to reproject the index. If using EPSG codes, do not enclose the EPSG number in quotes.
appendInfo	Data frame (single row) with values to append to each feature in the return sf object. If NULL, no information is appended. If appendInfo is sf object, the geometry will be removed before appending to each feature.
outputFile	Full path and file name on the local file system for the index file.
rebuild	Boolean. If TRUE, the index is always created. If FALSE, the index is only created if it does not already exist.
quiet	Boolean to control display of status information. If TRUE, information is not displayed. Otherwise, status information is displayed.

Value

An sf object containing the polygon(s) for the project area.
