st_cast_ext: Cast geometry to another type

In elipousson/overedge: Assorted Functions For Easier Map Making

Cast geometry to another type

Description

Wrapper for sf::st_cast() that currently supports casting MULTIPOLYGON to POLYGON or MULTIPOLYGON or POLYGON to POINT or, if simplify = FALSE, can cast MULTIPOINT to LINESTRING. This is not very different than the basic functionality of st_cast but further development may improve the utility of this function.

Usage

st_cast_ext(x, to = "POINT", simplify = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

x	A sf or sfc object to cast to another type.
to	character; target type, if missing, simplification is tried; when x is of type sfg (i.e., a single geometry) then to needs to be specified.
simplify	If TRUE, simplify geometry type; defaults to TRUE.
...	ignored
