Determine Esri Geometry type

Source: R/utils-geometry.R
determine_esri_geo_type.Rd

Takes an sf or sfc object and returns the appropriate Esri geometry type.

Usage

determine_esri_geo_type(x, call = rlang::caller_env())

Arguments

x

an object of class data.frame, sf, sfc, or sfg.

call

The execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. call = caller_env(). The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error.

You only need to supply call when throwing a condition from a helper function which wouldn't be relevant to mention in the message.

Can also be NULL or a defused function call to respectively not display any call or hard-code a code to display.

For more information about error calls, see Including function calls in error messages.

Value

returns a character scalar of the corresponding Esri geometry type
