Sample points on a linear geometry
Sample points on a linear geometry
st_line_sample(x, n, density, type = "regular", sample = NULL)
x |
object of class |
n |
integer; number of points to choose per geometry; if missing, n will be computed as |
density |
numeric; density (points per distance unit) of the sampling, possibly a vector of length equal to the number of features (otherwise recycled); |
type |
character; indicate the sampling type, either "regular" or "random" |
sample |
numeric; a vector of numbers between 0 and 1 indicating the points to sample - if defined sample overrules n, density and type. |
