Return the data source habitatstreams as an sf linestring layer or as a list

Source: R/read_habitatdata.R

Returns the raw data source habitatstreams (section 'habitat 3260' from De Saeger et al., 2023) as an sf linestring layer or as a list of two objects: the sf object (CRS: Belgian Lambert 72 (EPSG-code 31370)) plus a data frame with textual explanation of the values of the source_id variable.

read_habitatstreams(
  file = file.path(locate_n2khab_data(), "10_raw/habitatstreams"),
  source_text = FALSE
)

Arguments

file

The absolute or relative file path of the data source. The default follows the data management advice in the vignette on data storage (run vignette("v020_datastorage")). It uses the first n2khab_data folder that is found when sequentially climbing up 0 to 10 levels in the file system hierarchy, starting from the working directory.
source_text

Logical, defaults to FALSE. If TRUE, a list is returned (see Value).

Value

With source_text = FALSE (default): a Simple feature collection of type LINESTRING.

With source_text = TRUE: a list of two objects:

  • lines: the same sf object as with source_text = FALSE.

  • sources: textual explanation on the values of the source_id variable in the sf object.

if (FALSE) {
# This example supposes that your working directory or a directory up to 10
# levels above has the 'n2khab_data' folder AND that the latest version of
# the 'habitatstreams'
# data source is present in the default subdirectory.
# In all other cases, this example won't work but at least you can
# consider what to do.
