lawn

lawn is an R wrapper for the Javascript library turf.js. In addition, we have a few functions to interface with the geojson-random and geojsonhint Javascript libraries, for generating random GeoJSON objects and linting GeoJSON, respectively.

Install

The latest release of lawn is available from CRAN. To install:

install.packages("lawn")

library("lawn")

count

Count number of points within polygons

lawn_count(lawn_data$polygons_count, lawn_data$points_count, 'population')
#> <FeatureCollection>
#>   Bounding box: -112.1 46.6 -112.0 46.6
#>   No. features: 2
#>   No. points: 20
#>   Properties: 
#>     values count
#> 1 200, 600     2
#> 2              0

average

Average value of a field for a set of points within a set of polygons

lawn_average(polygons = lawn_data$polygons_average, points = lawn_data$points_average, 'population')
#> <FeatureCollection>
#>   Bounding box: 10.7 59.9 10.9 59.9
#>   No. features: 2
#>   No. points: 20
#>   Properties: 
#>          values average
#> 1 200, 600, 100     300
#> 2      200, 300     250

distance

Define two points

from <- '{
 "type": "Feature",
 "properties": {},
 "geometry": {
   "type": "Point",
   "coordinates": [-75.343, 39.984]
 }
}'
to <- '{
  "type": "Feature",
  "properties": {},
  "geometry": {
    "type": "Point",
    "coordinates": [-75.534, 39.123]
  }
}'

Calculate distance, default units is kilometers (km)

random set of points

lawn_random(n = 2)
#> <FeatureCollection>
#>   Bounding box: -179.0 -64.9 175.4 -1.9
#>   No. features: 2
#>   No. points: 4
#>   Properties: NULL

lawn_random(n = 5)

#>   Bounding box: -91.1 3.7 140.0 54.0
#>   No. features: 5
#>   No. points: 10

view

lawn includes a tiny helper function for visualizing geojson.

view(lawn_data$points_average)

Or during process of manipulating geojson, view at mostly any time.

Here, we sample at random two points from the same dataset just viewed.

lawn_sample(lawn_data$points_average, 2) %>% view()
