ddbs_centroid {duckspatial} | R Documentation |
Calculates the centroid of geometries
Description
Calculates the centroids of geometries from a DuckDB table using the spatial extension.
Returns the result as an sf
object or creates a new table in the database.
Usage
ddbs_centroid(
conn,
x,
name = NULL,
crs = NULL,
crs_column = "crs_duckspatial",
overwrite = FALSE
)
Arguments
conn |
a connection object to a DuckDB database |
x |
a table with a geometry column within the DuckDB database |
name |
a character string of length one specifying the name of the table,
or a character string of length two specifying the schema and table names. If it's
NULL (the default), it will return the result as an |
crs |
the coordinates reference system of the data. Specify if the data
doesn't have a |
crs_column |
a character string of length one specifying the column
storing the CRS (created automatically by |
overwrite |
whether to overwrite the existing table if it exists. Ignored
when |
Value
an sf
object or TRUE
(invisibly) for table creation
