sf: Simple Features for R
Support for simple feature access, a standardized way to
encode and analyze spatial vector data. Binds to 'GDAL'
doi:10.5281/zenodo.5884351
> for reading and writing data, to 'GEOS'
doi:10.5281/zenodo.11396894
> for geometrical operations,
and to 'PROJ' <
doi:10.5281/zenodo.5884394
> for projection
conversions and datum transformations. Uses by default the 's2'
package for geometry operations on geodetic (long/lat degree)
coordinates.
