Transform a bounding box to a different projection

bbox_transform() is a convenience function for:

bbox_to_wkt(bbox) |>
  g_transform(srs_from, srs_to) |>
  bbox_from_wkt()

Usage

bbox_transform(bbox, srs_from, srs_to)

Arguments

bbox

Numeric vector of length four containing a bounding box (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax) to transform.

srs_from

Character string in OGC WKT format specifying the spatial reference system for bbox.

srs_to

Character string in OGC WKT format specifying the target spatial reference system.

Value

Numeric vector of length four containing a transformed bounding box (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax).
