R: Convert WKT Objects into Bounding Boxes

wkt_bounding {wicket} | R Documentation

## Convert WKT Objects into Bounding Boxes

### Description

`wkt_bounding` turns WKT objects (specifically points, linestrings, polygons, and multi-points/linestrings/polygons) into bounding boxes.

### Usage

    wkt_bounding(wkt, as_matrix = FALSE)

### Arguments

`wkt` | a character vector of WKT objects.
`as_matrix` | whether to return the results as a matrix (TRUE) or data.frame (FALSE). Set to FALSE by default.

### Value

either a data.frame or matrix, depending on the value of `as_matrix`, containing four columns - `min_x`, `min_y`, `max_x` and `max_y` - representing the various points of the bounding box. In the event that a valid bounding box cannot be generated (due to the invalidity or incompatibility of the WKT object), NAs will be returned.

### See Also

`bounding_wkt`, to turn R-size bounding boxes into WKT objects.

### Examples

    wkt_bounding("POLYGON ((30 10, 40 40, 20 40, 10 20, 30 10))")
