as_extent {arcgisutils}

Convert an object to an extent

Description

Given an sf or sfc object create a list that represents the extent of the object. The result of this function can be parsed directly into json using jsonify::to_json(x, unbox = TRUE) or included into a list as the extent component that will be eventually converted into json using the above function.

Usage

as_extent(x, crs = sf::st_crs(x), call = rlang::caller_env())

Arguments

x

an sf or sfc object

crs

the CRS of the object. Must be parsable by sf::st_crs()

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.

You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.

Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.

For more information about error calls, see Including function calls in error messages.

Value

An extent json object. Use jsonify::to_json(x, unbox = TRUE) to convert to json.

Examples

nc <- sf::st_read(system.file("shape/nc.shp", package = "sf"), quiet = TRUE)
as_extent(nc)
