Chamberlain-Duquette spherical area

These functions use the Chamberlain-Duquette formula, which is suitable for geographic coordinates on a sphere. They return area in square meters.

Usage

ga_signed_area_cd(x)

ga_unsigned_area_cd(x)

Arguments

x

a GeoArrow geometry array

Value

a double vector of area values in square meters

Examples

fp <- system.file("shape/nc.shp", package = "sf")
nc <- as.data.frame(read_shapefile(fp))

# square meters, not square degrees
head(as.vector(ga_unsigned_area_cd(nc$geometry)))
