Called from within create_grid function, this function takes the bounding box of a group of polygons, or a specific table of minimum and maximum longitudes and latitudes to create points for each polygon to be allocated to that will tessellate into hexagons.
create_buffer(centroids, grid, hex_size, buffer_dist, verbose = FALSE)data frame of centroids to be allocated
data frame of hexagon centroids
a float value in degrees for the diameter of the hexagons
distance to extend beyond the geometry provided
a boolean to indicate whether to show function progress
data frame of hexagon centroids
lga_centroids <- create_centroids(sugarbag::tas_lga, "lga_code_2016")
lga_grid <- create_grid(lga_centroids, hex_size = 0.2, buffer_dist = 1.2)
