splitBuffer: Fast Buffer for Spatial* objects.

In jacpete/jpfxns: JP Functions

Description

splitClip splits a Spatial* object from the (sp) package using seqSPDF, and runs rgeos::gBuffer() on the list.

Usage

splitBuffer(input, width = 1, sep = 1000, dissolve = F)

Arguments

input	Spatial* object.
width	Distance for buffer.Defaults to 1.
sep	Passed to seqSPDF(). Default set to 1000.
dissolve	Do you want to dissolve the buffered feature? Defaults to FALSE.

Details

This is a general wrapper for rgeos::gBuffer() that allows for quicker buffer and fixed a ram leak issue caused by large datasets when using the native rgeos function.

Value

Returns a buffer of the Spatial* input feature.

Warning

Will not output with a dataframe due to limitations of the rgeos functions. Will look into using raster::buffer() in a future release.
