Simplify (thin) geometry for faster plotting — simplify_geometry • countryatlas

Reduce the vertex count of an sf object via the optional rmapshaper package (falling back to sf::st_simplify()), for fast web/plotting.

Usage

simplify_geometry(x, keep = 0.05, ...)

Arguments

x: An sf object.
keep: Proportion of vertices to keep (0-1) for rmapshaper.
...: Passed to the underlying simplifier.

Value

A simplified sf object.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
world_geometry(geometry = "sf") |> simplify_geometry(keep = 0.1)
} # }
