Examples

# create some data
d <- data.frame(
  id = 1:3,
  qq = c('SW', 'SW', 'SE'),
  q = c('NE', 'NW', 'SE'),
  s = c(17, 32, 30),
  t = c('T36N', 'T35N', 'T35N'),
  r = c('R29W', 'R28W', 'R28W'),
  type = 'SN',
  m = 'MT20',
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
# add column names

names(d) <- c('id', 'qq', 'q', 's', 't', 'r', 'type', 'm')
# generate formatted PLSS codes
formatPLSS(d, type='SN')
