Add longitude and latitude columns to an sf object — sf_to_sf_with

This function takes an sf object containing point geometries and extracts the longitude (POINT_X) and latitude (POINT_Y) coordinates from the geometry column. These coordinates are added as new columns to the sf object.

Usage

sf_to_sf_with_coords(sf_object)

Arguments

sf_object: An sf object containing point geometries.

Value

An updated sf object with additional columns: POINT_X (longitude) and POINT_Y (latitude).

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
library(sf)
# Example sf object
sampled_plots <- st_as_sf(data.frame(
  PLOT_ID = c("EU2", "EU1"),
  AGB_T_HA = c(87.87, 67.79),
  AVG_YEAR = c(2001, 2008),
  SIZE_HA = c(0.196, 0.015),
  geometry = st_sfc(st_point(c(1.305915, 42.59214)), st_point(c(15.21873, 59.81792)))
), crs = 4326)

# Convert to include POINT_X and POINT_Y
updated_sf <- sf_to_sf_with_coords(sampled_plots)
} # }
