Given a vector of geometries combine them into a single geometry.

Usage

combine_geoms(x)

union_geoms(x)

Arguments

x

an object of class rsgeo

Value

An object of class rsgeo of length one.

Details

combine_geoms()

combine_geoms() combines a vector of geometries into a vector of length one their MULTI counterpart.

  • rs_POINT and rs_MULTIPOINT -> rs_MULTIPOINT

  • rs_LINESTRING and rs_MULTILINESTRING -> rs_MULTILINESTRING

  • rs_POLYGON and rs_MULTIPOLYGON -> rs_MULTIPOLYGON

  • rs_GEOMETRYCOLLECTION is not supported

union_geoms()

union_geoms() creates a union of all geometries removing repeated points or dissolving shared boundaries.

  • rs_POINT - combines and removes repeated points

  • rs_MULTIPOINT - combines removes repeated points

  • rs_LINESTRING - combines and removes duplicated points

  • rs_MULTILINESTRING - combines and removes duplicated points

  • rs_POLYGON - unions geometries into a single geometry

  • rs_MULTIPOLYGON - unions geometries into a single geometry
