buildSpatialObject

Description

A function to build a spatial object for a given factsheet

Usage

buildSpatialObject(
  item,
  lang,
  host,
  domain,
  wfs,
  cleanGeom = TRUE,
  cleanStrategy = "BUFFER",
  unionStrategy = "bbox",
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

item	an object of class "character" giving the factsheet id
lang	the language in which the factsheet is available
host	an object of class "character" giving the host
domain	an object of class "character" giving the FIRMS domain
wfs	an object of class "WFSClient" from ows4R package
cleanGeom	an object of class "logical" indicating if geometries have to be validated with cleangeo. Default value is TRUE.
cleanStrategy	an object of class "character". Default is "BUFFER"
unionStrategy	an object of class "character". Accepted values are "union" (pure geoprocessing union - time consuming -), "bbox" (strategy to estimate the largest spatial object to retain, by comparing envelopes, and results much less time consuming). Default value is "bbox".
verbose	an object of class "logical" either logs have to be printed out. Default value is TRUE.

Value

an object of class "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame"
