Segments a LineString into n equal length LineStrings

Source: R/segmentize.R
line_segmentize.Rd

Given a LineString, segment it into n equal length LineStrings. The n LineStrings are provided as a MultiLineString which can be expanded using expand_geoms() and consequently flattened using flatten_geoms() if desired.

Usage

line_segmentize(x, n)

Arguments

x

and object of class rs_LINESTRING

n

an integer vector determining the number of equal length LineStrings to create

Value

A vector of class rs_MULTILINESTRING

Examples

x <- geom_linestring(1:10, runif(10, -1, 1))

segs <- line_segmentize(x, 3)

flatten_geoms(
  expand_geoms(segs)
)
#> <rs_LINESTRING[3]>
