coords2spi: Convert coordinates to spatial information

In pik-piam/demystas: Demystifying Automation on Simple Tasks

Description

Wrapper function for 'sp::over' in overlaying points over polygons to retrieve relevant intersection information.

Usage

coords2spi(points, global)

Arguments

points	a data frame with two columns of coordinates, or a Spatial object listed here under "x" in showMethods(sp::over). These represent points to be mapped onto polygon(s). Coordinates in 'points' should be in the same column order as those in 'global'
global	an object onto which 'points' is mapped, possible classes corresponding to 'points' listed under "y" in showMethods(sp::over). If 'points' is a data frame, it will be converted into a SpatialPoints object.

Value

a data frame corresponding to the coordinates in 'points' mapped onto 'global' with the attributes of 'global'
