Delineate a corridor around a river.

Usage

delineate_corridor(
  city_name,
  river_name,
  crs = NULL,
  bbox_buffer = NULL,
  initial_method = "buffer",
  capping_method = "direct",
  segments = FALSE,
  riverspace = FALSE
)

Arguments

city_name

A place name as a string

river_name

A river name as a string

crs

The projected Coordinate Reference System (CRS) to use. If not provided, the suitable Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) CRS is selected

bbox_buffer

Add a buffer region to the city boundary to avoid edge effects close to its limits

initial_method

The method employed to define the initial river corridor geometry. See initial_corridor() for the available methods

capping_method

The method employed to connect the corridor edge end points (i.e. to "cap" the corridor). See cap_corridor() for the available methods

segments

Whether to carry out the corridor segmentation

riverspace

Whether to carry out the riverspace delineation

Value

A simple feature geometry
