Description

There's a set of functions for re-projecting spatial data based on its centroid. This can be used to use distance- or area-preserving map projections centered on local areas. This should only be necessary when a function that can only operate on planar geometries is needed. local_equidistant_project

Usage

1
local_equidistant_project(st_df, projection_center = NULL)

Details

Projects a shapefile to an Azimuth Equidisant Projection centered on a supplied centroid, or on a centroid generated for the supplied shapefile. This allows distances to be calculated straightforwardly using meters distance unit.
