Which sp objects does quadsegs argument in gBuffer affect (or rather, which
it does not)? Based on my experiments, SpatialPoints -> SpatialPolygons is
not affected. I use SpatialPoints to draw circles (see below) and I figured
that specifying the quadsegs would alter the "roughness" of the circle
generated (which is now SpatialPolygons). This doesn't seem to be the case.
Can someone expand on this?

sap <- gBuffer(spgeom = sap, width = 500, quadsegs = 5)
nrow(sap@polygons[[1]]@Polygons[[1]]@coords) #always the same, irrespective
of quadsegs


Cheers,
Roman
