Usage

determine_dims(x)

has_m(x)

has_z(x)

Arguments

x

an object of class sfc or sfg

Value

determine_dims() returns a scalar character of the value "xy", "xyz", or "xyzm" depending on what dimensions are represented.

has_m() and has_z() returns a logical scalar of TRUE or FALSE if the geometry has a Z or M dimension.

Examples

geo <- sf::st_read(system.file("shape/nc.shp", package="sf"), quiet = TRUE)[["geometry"]]

determine_dims(geo)
#> [1] "xy"
has_z(geo)
#> [1] FALSE
has_m(geo)
#> [1] FALSE
