export_edges_to_shapefile {emstreeR}

Export 'MST' edges to shapefile objects

Description

Write a shapefile containing the 'MST' edges

Usage

export_edges_to_shapefile(
  x,
  V1 = 1,
  V2 = 2,
  file,
  crs = 4326,
  multiple_files = FALSE,
  driver = "ESRI Shapefile",
  ...
)

Arguments

x

a MST class object returned by the ComputeMST function.

V1

the numeric position or the name of the column to be used as the x coordinates of the points in the plot.

V2

the numeric position or the name of the column to be used as the y coordinates of the points in the plot.

file

shapefile (*.shp) to be written.

crs

coordinate reference system. It can be numeric, character, or object of class sf or sfc.

multiple_files

logical. Should I write each edge to one different file.

driver

vector driver to be used in the process. Refer to https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html

...

further sf parameters.
