qgis_meancoordinates: Mean Coordinate(s)

In smitty1788/mercatoR: Simple navigation of QGIS, GRASS, SAGA, and GDAL algorithms

Description

This algorithm computes a point layer with the center of mass of geometries in an input layer. An attribute can be specified as containing weights to be applied to each feature when computing the center of mass. If an categorical attribute is selected in the category field, features will be grouped according to values in this field. Instead of a single point with the center of mass of the whole layer, the output layer will contain a center of mass for the features in each category.

Usage

qgis_meancoordinates(input, output, weight = NA, category = NA)

Arguments

input	<chr> or simple feature object Input layer. Must be target source or simple feature
output	<chr> Destination of output file
weight	<chr> attribute can be specified as containing weights. String
category	<chr> attribute can be specified as containing categories

Value

simple feature, geojson, or shapefile

Examples

qgis_meancoordinates(input = 'C://Documents/Spatial/cities.geojson',
                     output = 'C://Documents/Spatial/meancoordinate.geojson',
                     weight = 'Population')

qgis_meancoordinates(input = 'C://Documents/Spatial/Counties.geojson',
                     output = 'C://Documents/Spatial/meancoordinate.geojson',
                     category = 'COUNTY_NAME')
