geo_join: Easily merge a data frame to a spatial data frame

Description Usage Arguments

View source: R/helpers.R

Description

The pages of StackOverflow are littered with questions about how to merge a regular data frame to a spatial data frame in R. The merge function from the sp package operates under a strict set of assumptions, which if violated will break your data. This function wraps a couple StackOverflow answers I've seen that work in a friendlier syntax.

Usage

1
geo_join(spatial_data, data_frame, by_sp, by_df)

Arguments

spatial_data

A spatial data frame to which you want to merge data.

data_frame

A regular data frame that you want to merge to your spatial data.

by_sp

The column name you'll use for the merge from your spatial data frame.

by_df

The column name you'll use for the merge from your regular data frame.
