Convert Minka Observations to sf — mnk_obs_sf • rminka

Converts a tibble returned by mnk_obs into an sf POINT object. Keeps selected columns and coerces observed_on to Date when present.

Usage

mnk_obs_sf(data, ..., crs = 4326, keep_coords = TRUE)

Arguments

data: a data frame or tibble with at least latitude and longitude columns, typically from mnk_obs().
...: columns to retain, using tidyselect syntax. latitude and longitude are always added for geometry.
crs: coordinate reference system for the output, defaults to 4326 (WGS84).
keep_coords: logical. If TRUE, retains latitude and longitude as regular columns in addition to geometry.

Value

an sf object with POINT geometry (EPSG:4326 by default) and the selected attributes. Returns an empty sf object if no valid coordinates are present.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
obs <- mnk_obs(taxon_name = "Parablennius pilicornis", year = 2024)
obs_sf <- mnk_obs_sf(obs, id, taxon_name, observed_on)
obs_sf
} # }
