qgis_pointslayerfromtable: Point Layer from Table

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

Description

This algorithm generates a points layer based on the values from an input table.

The table must contain a field with the X coordinate of each point and another one with the Y coordinate. A CRS for the output layer has to be specified, and the coordinates in the table are assumed to be expressed in the units used by that CRS.

The attributes table of the resulting layer will be the input table.

Usage

qgis_pointslayerfromtable(input, output, xfield, yfield, crs = "EPSG:4326")

Arguments

input	<chr> csv file location. string
output	<chr> string file destination. .geojson or .shp
xfield	<chr> csv column containing X coordinate. String
yfield	<chr> csv column containing Y coordinate. String
crs	<chr> Coordinate reference system. Defualt is 'EPSG:4326'.

Value

simple feature, geojson, or shapefile(.shp)

Examples

qgis_pointslayerfromtable(input = 'C://Documents/Spatial/cities.csv',
                          output = 'C://Documents/Spatial/cities.shp',
                          xfield = 'mE',
                          yfield = 'mN',
                          crs = 'EPSG:102285')
