In pecard/tabuleia: Collect biodiversity from different sources for a region of interest.

Identify the UTM grid squares touching and around a region of interest (roi).

Description

The utm_id function will identify the UTM grid codes that touches and those in the vicinity (queen or rook) of roi.

Usage

utm_id(grid = utm10, roi = roi, buf = NULL, contiguity = "queen")

Arguments

grid	character indicating the UTM grid. Ensure you provide an 'UTM' column as grid code.
roi	an spatial object sf, st, spatialpolygonsdataframe identifying the roi.' It can be of any valid vector type (point, line, polygon or collection).
buf	numeric indication whether the roi should be buffered to a given distance (meter). Default is NULL
contiguity	character identifying the contiguity search method "queen" or "rook".

Details

Make sure you have a topologically valid vector. Using external files (like a shapefile) will require the .prj otherwise identify it with the corresponding numeric epsg code. Currently only rook and queen implemented (not bishop)

Value

A vector with UTM codes for study site (ae) and contiguous grids.

## Not run: 
require(tabulEIA)

require(tidyverse)
# get UTM codes for your roi
d <- data.frame(a = 1)

ae <- sf::st_as_sf(d, wkt = "geom")
ae <- sf::st_set_crs(ae, 4326)
utm_all <- utm_id(grid = utm10k, roi = ae, buf = NULL, contiguity = "queen")
