Check spatial objects for WFS spatial operations

Check a spatial object to see if it exceeds the current set value of 'bcdata.max_geom_pred_size' option, which controls how the object is treated when used inside a spatial predicate function in filter.bcdc_promise(). If the object does exceed the size threshold a bounding box is drawn around it and all features within the box will be returned. Further options include:

• Try adjusting the value of the 'bcdata.max_geom_pred_size' option

• Simplify the spatial object to reduce its size

• Further processing on the returned object

Usage

bcdc_check_geom_size(x)

Arguments

x

object of class sf, sfc or sfg

Value

invisibly return logical indicating whether the check pass. If the return value is TRUE, the object will not need a bounding box drawn. If the return value is FALSE, the check will fails and a bounding box will be drawn.

Details

See the Querying Spatial Data with bcdata for more details.

Examples

# \donttest{
try({
  airports <- bcdc_query_geodata("bc-airports") %>% collect()
  bcdc_check_geom_size(airports)
})
