construct_buffer function

construct_buffer

Internal function to construct plot area around coordinates

construct_buffer(
  coords,
  shape,
  size,
  return_vec = TRUE,
  crs = "",
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

• coords: Point geometry as SpatVector or sf object or 2-column matrix with coordinates.
• shape: String specifying plot shape. Either "circle" or "square".
• size: Size of sample plot. Equals the radius for circles or the side-length for squares in map units.
• return_vec: If TRUE, vector objects are returned.
• crs: The coordinate reference system used for vector objects.
• verbose: Print warning messages.

Returns

matrix or SpatVector object

Examples

coords <- matrix(c(10, 5, 25, 15, 5, 25), ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE)
construct_buffer(coords = coords, shape = "square", size = 5)
