[R-sig-Geo] how to create several polygons from a list of vertices

[obrl soil]

Hi Antonio,

have you tried with sf? Like:

library(sf)

pts <-
  tibble::tribble(~ID,  ~x,  ~y, ~grp,
                   1 , -33, -23,    1,
                   2 , -32, -23,    1,
                   3 , -32, -22,    1,
                   4 , -33, -22,    1,
                   5 , -32, -23,    2,
                   6 , -31, -23,    2,
                   7 , -31, -22,    2,
                   8 , -32, -22,    2,
                   9 , -31, -23,    3,
                   10, -30, -23,    3,
                   11, -30, -22,    3,
                   12, -31, -22,    3,
                   13, -33, -22,    4,
                   14, -32, -22,    4,
                   15, -32, -21,    4,
                   16, -33, -21,    4,
                   17, -32, -22,    5,
                   18, -31, -22,    5,
                   19, -31, -21,    5,
                   20, -32, -21,    5,
                   21, -31, -22,    6,
                   22, -30, -22,    6,
                   23, -30, -21,    6,
                   24, -31, -21,    6)

squares <- split(pts, pts$grp)
squares <- lapply(squares, function(g) {
  # get just coords
  g <- as.matrix(g[, c(2,3)])
  # repeat first point last to close poly
  g <- rbind(g, g[1, ])
  # convert to an sf polygon object
  gp <- sf::st_polygon(list(g))
  # make sure the vertices are in an order
  # that complies with the simple
  # features standard
  gp <- sf::st_buffer(gp, 0L)
})
# turn list of polygons into geometry column
squares_sfc <- sf::st_sfc(squares) # can add crs = ?? to this call
# add an ID to make an sf data frame
squares_sf <- sf::st_sf('ID' = seq(6), 'geometry' = squares_sfc)

# if you still need to use sp for whatever reason
squares_sp <- as(squares_sf, "Spatial")
