In sugarbag: Create Tessellated Hexagon Maps

Create a grid of evenly spaced points to allow hexagons to tessellate

Description

This function takes the output from the create_centroids function, or a set of centroids in a table with the columns latitude and longitude

Usage

create_grid(
  centroids,
  hex_size,
  buffer_dist,
  latitude = "latitude",
  longitude = "longitude",
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

centroids	data frame of centroids to be allocated, this should have columns for longitude and latitude value of centroids, as
hex_size	a float value in degrees for the diameter of the hexagons
buffer_dist	distance to extend beyond the geometry provided
latitude	the column name for the latitude values of the centroids
longitude	the column name for the longitude values of the centroids
verbose	a boolean to indicate whether to show function progress

Value

grid

Examples

# Create a set of centroids for grid to overlay
centroids <- create_centroids(tas_lga, "lga_code_2016")
# Create the grid
grid <- create_grid(centroids = centroids, hex_size = 0.2, buffer_dist = 1.2, verbose = FALSE)
