s2_project(x, y, radius = s2_earth_radius_meters())

s2_project_normalized(x, y)

s2_interpolate(x, distance, radius = s2_earth_radius_meters())

s2_interpolate_normalized(x, distance_normalized)

Arguments

x

A simple polyline geography vector

y

A simple point geography vector. The point will be snapped to the nearest point on x for the purposes of interpolation.

radius

Radius of the earth. Defaults to the average radius of the earth in meters as defined by s2_earth_radius_meters().

distance

A distance along x in radius units.

distance_normalized

A distance normalized to s2_length() of x.

Value

  • s2_interpolate() returns the point on x, distance meters along the line.

  • s2_interpolate_normalized() returns the point on x interpolated to a fraction along the line.

  • s2_project() returns the distance that point occurs along x.

  • s2_project_normalized() returns the distance_normalized along x where point occurs.

Examples
