Obtain the 2D or 3D bounding envelope for input geometries

Source: R/geom.R
g_envelope.Rd

g_envelope() computes and returns the bounding envelope(s) for the input geometries. Wrapper of OGR_G_GetEnvelope() / OGR_G_GetEnvelope3D() in the GDAL Geometry API.

Usage

g_envelope(geom, as_3d = FALSE, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

geom

Either a raw vector of WKB or list of raw vectors, or a character vector containing one or more WKT strings.

as_3d

Logical value. TRUE to return the 3D bounding envelope. The 2D envelope is returned by default (as_3d = FALSE).

quiet

Logical value, TRUE to suppress warnings. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

Either a numeric vector of length 4 containing the 2D envelope (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax) or of length 6 containing the 3D envelope (xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax), or a four-column or six-column numeric matrix with number of rows equal to the number of input geometries and column names ("xmin", "xmax", "ymin", "ymax"), or ("xmin", "xmax", "ymin", "ymax", "zmin", "zmax") for the 3D case.
