Victoria Local Government Areas (sf)

An example polygon layer of Victoria's LGAs for demos and tests. Built from data-raw/map/LGA_POLYGON.shp, Z/M dropped, transformed to a projected CRS, simplified, validated, and reduced to LGA_NAME + geometry.

Usage

vic

Format

An sf object with:

LGA_NAME

Character, LGA name (upper case).

geometry

MULTIPOLYGON / POLYGON in a projected CRS.

Source

Prepared in data-raw/gen-data.R. Update this if you include an external data source.

Details

The CRS stored in the object is whatever st_crs(vic) reports at build time. In data-raw/gen-data.R we:

1. drop Z/M (st_zm()),

2. transform to a projected CRS (st_transform()),

3. simplify (st_simplify(dTolerance = 100)),

4. repair geometries (st_make_valid()),

5. upper-case names and select columns.

Examples

library(sf)
plot(sf::st_geometry(vic), col = "grey90", border = "grey50")
