Project lat-lon points

Description

Project long lat points to e.g. UTM projection. Basics copied from OpenStreetMap::projectMercator

Usage

projectPoints(
  lat,
  long,
  data,
  from = pll(),
  to = putm(long = long),
  dfout = TRUE,
  drop = FALSE,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

lat, long

Latitude (North/South) and longitude (East/West) coordinates in decimal degrees

data

Optional: data.frame with the columns lat and long

from

Original Projection CRS (do not change for latlong-coordinates). DEFAULT: pll() = sf::st_crs("+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84")

to

target projection CRS (Coordinate Reference System) Object. Other projections can be specified as sf::st_crs("your_proj4_character_string"). DEFAULT: putm(long=long)

dfout

Convert output to data.frame to allow easier indexing? DEFAULT: TRUE

drop

Drop to lowest dimension? DEFAULT: FALSE (unlike projectMercator)

quiet

Suppress warning about NA coordinates and non-df warning in getColumn? DEFAULT: FALSE

Value

data.frame (or matrix, if dfout=FALSE) with points in new projection
