Transforms an input `sf` object into an image overlay for the current height map.

generate_polygon_overlay(
  geometry,
  extent,
  heightmap = NULL,
  width = NA,
  height = NA,
  resolution_multiply = 1,
  offset = c(0, 0),
  data_column_fill = NULL,
  linecolor = "black",
  palette = "white",
  linewidth = 1
)

Arguments

geometry

An `sf` object with POLYGON geometry.

extent

Either an object representing the spatial extent of the scene (either from the `raster`, `terra`, `sf`, or `sp` packages), a length-4 numeric vector specifying `c("xmin", "xmax","ymin","ymax")`, or the spatial object (from the previously aforementioned packages) which will be automatically converted to an extent object.

heightmap

Default `NULL`. The original height map. Pass this in to extract the dimensions of the resulting overlay automatically.

width

Default `NA`. Width of the resulting overlay. Default the same dimensions as height map.

height

Default `NA`. Width of the resulting overlay. Default the same dimensions as height map.

resolution_multiply

Default `1`. If passing in `heightmap` instead of width/height, amount to increase the resolution of the overlay, which should make lines/polygons/text finer. Should be combined with `add_overlay(rescale_original = TRUE)` to ensure those added details are captured in the final map.

offset

Default `c(0,0)`. Horizontal and vertical offset to apply to the polygon, in units of `geometry`.

data_column_fill

Default `NULL`. The column to map the polygon fill color to.

linecolor

Default `black`. Color of the lines.

palette

Default `black`. Single color, named vector color palette, or palette function. If this is a named vector and `data_column_fill` is not `NULL`, it will map the colors in the vector to the names. If `data_column_fill` is a numeric column, this will give a continuous mapping.

linewidth

Default `1`. Line width.

Value

Image overlay representing the input polygon data.
