Create an empty pgeometry object

Source: R/basic_functions.R
create_empty_pgeometry.Rd

create_empty_pgeometry() builds an empty pgeometry object of a specific type.

Usage

create_empty_pgeometry(type)

Arguments

type

A character value indicating the spatial plateau data type of the pgeometry object. It can be either "PLATEAUPOINT", "PLATEAULINE", "PLATEAUREGION", "PLATEAUCOMPOSITION" or "PLATEAUCOLLECTION".

Value

An empty pgeometry object.

Details

The create_empty_pgeometry() function creates a new pgeometry object with no components. To add new components to this object, you should use spa_add_component(). The components added to this object must be compatible with the type of the empty pgeometry object.

Examples

# Creating an empty plateau point object
empty_plateau_point <- create_empty_pgeometry("PLATEAUPOINT")
empty_plateau_point
#> [1] "PLATEAUPOINT EMPTY"

# Creating an empty plateau line object
empty_plateau_line <- create_empty_pgeometry("PLATEAULINE")
empty_plateau_line
#> [1] "PLATEAULINE EMPTY"

# Creating an empty plateau region object
empty_plateau_region <- create_empty_pgeometry("PLATEAUREGION")
empty_plateau_region
#> [1] "PLATEAUREGION EMPTY"

# Creating an empty plateau composition object
empty_plateau_composition <- create_empty_pgeometry("PLATEAUCOMPOSITION")
empty_plateau_composition
#> [1] "PLATEAUCOMPOSITION EMPTY"

# Creating an empty plateau collection object
empty_plateau_collection <- create_empty_pgeometry("PLATEAUCOLLECTION")
empty_plateau_collection
#> [1] "PLATEAUCOLLECTION EMPTY"
