4.1 Learning objectives Spatial Operations on Vectors

• Understand Spatial Operations

  • subsetting / joining on spatial objects

    • equivalence to non-spatial attributes from previous chapters

• Spatial Joins - Methods

  • intersection

  • within a distance

• Spatial Operations on Vectors - uses sf vignette (simple features package)

• Spatial Subsetting

  • start with a spatial object and return new object containing only features that relate in space to another object
