I have a data table as follows, which I need to convert into an sf object:
library(data.table)
DT <- data.table(
ID = c("A", "B", "C", "D", "E"),
Value = 11:15
)
The geometry information for each ID is a character vector with differing number of coordinates making up the linestring. ID "B" has 4 coordinates; ID "C" has 5.
geo <- c("c(-112.116492521272, -112.116492811159, -112.116492812107, -112.116491781569, -112.116482854256, -112.116482819195, -112.116476331207, -112.116476325101, -112.11647589954, 33.3777109072744, 33.377733456163, 33.377733512504, 33.377817189599, 33.3785425053239, 33.3785454379367, 33.3790725760563, 33.3790731291841, 33.3791076444333)",

)
Adding the geometry information to DT:
DT$geometry <- geo
Now, I need to convert DT into an sf object with geometry specified as sfc_LINESTRING. I tried using st_cast to first convert the character-based geometry variable into linestring, but it yielded an error.
DT_sf <- st_cast(DT$geometry, "LINESTRING")
Error in UseMethod("st_cast") :
no applicable method for 'st_cast' applied to an object of class "character"
This conversion needs to be done for nearly 20,000 rows. So, I am looking for a computationally efficient way to achieve the required result.
CodePudding user response:
You can remove the c()
notation and then split the coordinates into a list. Then you can create a data frame and use e.g the upper half rows and latitudes. This can be converted in a matrix which is a format st_linestring
understands:
