lawn_point_on_line: Get closest point on linestring to reference point

In ropensci/lawn: Client for 'Turfjs' for 'Geospatial' Analysis

Get closest point on linestring to reference point

Description

Takes a line, a start data-Point, and a stop point and returns the line in between those points

Usage

lawn_point_on_line(line, point, lint = FALSE)

Arguments

line	data-Feature<(data-LineString)> to snap to
point	data-Feature<(data-Point)> to snap from
lint	(logical) Lint or not. Uses geojsonhint. Takes up increasing time as the object to get linted increases in size, so probably use by default for small objects, but not for large if you know they are good geojson objects. Default: FALSE

Value

A data-Feature<(data-Point)>

Examples

line <- '{
  "type": "Feature",
  "properties": {},
  "geometry": {
    "type": "LineString",
    "coordinates": [
      [-77.031669, 38.878605],
      [-77.029609, 38.881946],
      [-77.020339, 38.884084],

      [-77.019824, 38.892368]
    ]
  }
}'
pt <- '{
  "type": "Feature",
  "properties": {},
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Point",
    "coordinates": [-77.037076, 38.884017]
  }
