Create a buffer around vector geometries

Calculate a buffer around all geometries of a SpatVector

Usage

# S4 method for class 'spatLocsObj'
buffer(x, width, ..., settle = TRUE)

# S4 method for class 'giottoPoints'
buffer(x, width, ..., settle = TRUE)

# S4 method for class 'giottoPolygon'
buffer(x, width, ..., settle = TRUE)

Arguments

x

SpatRaster or SpatVector

width

numeric. Unit is meter if x has a longitude/latitude CRS, or in the units of the coordinate reference system in other cases (typically also meter). The value should be > 0 if x is a SpatRaster. If x is a SpatVector, this argument is vectorized, meaning that you can provide a different value for each geometry in x; and you can also use the name of a variable in x that has the widths

...

additional params to pass

settle

logical. Settle the borders between polygons by cutting them where they touch based on voronoi boundaries.

Value

giottoPolygon of buffer polygons

Examples

sl <- GiottoData::loadSubObjectMini("spatLocsObj")
slb <- buffer(sl, 30)
plot(slb)
