Arguments

x

object to convert

...

further arguments

EWKB

logical; if TRUE, parse as EWKB (extended WKB; PostGIS: ST_AsEWKB), otherwise as ISO WKB (PostGIS: ST_AsBinary)

spatialite

logical; if TRUE, WKB is assumed to be in the spatialite dialect, see https://www.gaia-gis.it/gaia-sins/BLOB-Geometry.html; this is only supported in native endian-ness (i.e., files written on system with the same endian-ness as that on which it is being read).

pureR

logical; if TRUE, use only R code, if FALSE, use compiled (C++) code; use TRUE when the endian-ness of the binary differs from the host machine (.Platform$endian).

crs

coordinate reference system to be assigned; object of class crs

GeoJSON

logical; if TRUE, try to read geometries from GeoJSON text strings geometry, see st_crs()

precision

precision value; see st_as_binary

forceMulti

logical; if TRUE, force coercion into MULTIPOLYGON or MULTILINE objects, else autodetect

endian

integer; 0 or 1: defaults to the endian of the native machine

Details

When converting from WKB, the object x is either a character vector such as typically obtained from PostGIS (either with leading "0x" or without), or a list with raw vectors representing the features in binary (raw) form.

If x is a character vector, it should be a vector containing well-known-text, or Postgis EWKT or GeoJSON representations of a single geometry for each vector element.

If x is a factor, it is converted to character.

Examples

wkb = structure(list("01010000204071000000000000801A064100000000AC5C1441"), class = "WKB")
st_as_sfc(wkb, EWKB = TRUE)
wkb = structure(list("0x01010000204071000000000000801A064100000000AC5C1441"), class = "WKB")
st_as_sfc(wkb, EWKB = TRUE)
st_as_sfc(st_as_binary(st_sfc(st_point(0:1)))[[1]], crs = 4326)
st_as_sfc("SRID=3978;LINESTRING(1663106 -105415,1664320 -104617)")
