Create Spatial Polygons Contours from a Raster

Description

This function creates spatial polygons of contours from a raster.

Usage

isopoly(
  x,
  nclass = 8,
  breaks,
  mask,
  xcoords = "COORDX",
  ycoords = "COORDY",
  var = "OUTPUT",
  returnclass = "sp"
)

Arguments

x

sf POINT data.frame; must contain X, Y and OUTPUT fields.

nclass

numeric; a number of class.

breaks

numeric; a vector of break values.

mask

sf POLYGON data.frame; mask used to clip contour shapes.

xcoords

character; name of the X coordinates field in x.

ycoords

character; name of the Y coordinates field in x.

var

character; name of the OUTPUT field in x.

returnclass

"sp" or "sf"; class of the returned object.

Value

The output is an sf POLYGON data.frame. The data frame contains four fields: id (id of each polygon), min and max (minimum and maximum breaks of the polygon), center (central values of classes).

Examples

data(hospital)
# Compute Stewart potentials
mystewart <- stewart(knownpts = hospital, varname = "capacity",
                     typefct = "exponential", span = 1000, beta = 3,
                     mask = paris, returnclass = "sf")
# Create contour
contourpoly <- isopoly(x = mystewart,
                       nclass = 6,
                       mask = paris, returnclass = "sf")
library(sf)
