Takes a geographic object or bounding box as an input and outputs a bounding box, represented as a bounding box, corner points or rectangular polygon.
Usage
geo_bb(
shp,
scale_factor = 1,
distance = 0,
output = c("polygon", "points", "bb")
)
Arguments
- shp
Spatial object (from sf or sp packages)
- scale_factor
Numeric vector determining how much the bounding box will grow or shrink. Two numbers refer to extending the bounding box in x and y dimensions, respectively. If the value is 1, the output size will be the same as the input.
- distance
Distance in metres to extend the bounding box by
- output
Type of object returned (polygon by default)
