Is Geometry a Ring?
Tests if the given geometry is a ring
gIsRing(spgeom, byid = FALSE)
spgeom |
sp object as defined in package sp |
byid |
Logical determining if the function should be applied across subgeometries (TRUE) or the entire object (FALSE) |
Returns TRUE if the geometry is a LINEARRING.
Returns TRUE if the geometry is a LINESTRING that is both Simple (gIsSimple) and Closed (end points intersect), FALSE otherwise.
Returns FALSE if the geometry is a [MULTI]POINT, MULTILINESTRING, or [MULTI]POLYGON.
