Examples

library(terra)

f <- system.file("extdata/cyl.gpkg", package = "tidyterra")
v <- terra::vect(f)

# This is ungrouped
v
is_grouped_spatvector(v)

# Get an ungrouped data
a_sf <- as_sf(v)

dplyr::is_grouped_df(a_sf)

# Grouped

v$gr <- c("C", "A", "A", "B", "A", "B", "B")
v$gr2 <- rep(c("F", "G", "F"), 3)

gr_v <- group_by(v, gr, gr2)

gr_v
is_grouped_spatvector(gr_v)

group_data(gr_v)

# A sf

a_gr_sf <- as_sf(gr_v)

dplyr::is_grouped_df(a_gr_sf)

group_data(a_gr_sf)
