These functions allow to interpret spatial relations between nodes and other geospatial features directly inside filter and mutate calls. All functions return a logical vector of the same length as the number of nodes in the network. Element i in that vector is TRUE whenever the chosen spatial predicate applies to the spatial relation between the i-th node and any of the features in y.

Usage

node_intersects(y, ...)

node_is_disjoint(y, ...)

node_touches(y, ...)

node_is_within(y, ...)

node_equals(y, ...)

node_is_covered_by(y, ...)

node_is_within_distance(y, ...)

node_is_nearest(y)

Arguments

y

The geospatial features to test the nodes against, either as an object of class sf or sfc.

...

Arguments passed on to the corresponding spatial predicate function of sf. See geos_binary_pred. The argument sparse should not be set.

Value

A logical vector of the same length as the number of nodes in the network.

Details

See geos_binary_pred for details on each spatial predicate. The function node_is_nearest instead wraps around st_nearest_feature and returns TRUE for element i if the i-th node is the nearest node to any of the features in y.

Just as with all query functions in tidygraph, these functions are meant to be called inside tidygraph verbs such as mutate or filter, where the network that is currently being worked on is known and thus not needed as an argument to the function. If you want to use an algorithm outside of the tidygraph framework you can use with_graph to set the context temporarily while the algorithm is being evaluated.

Note

Note that node_is_within_distance is a wrapper around the st_is_within_distance predicate from sf. Hence, it is based on 'as-the-crow-flies' distance, and not on distances over the network. For distances over the network, use node_distance_to with edge lengths as weights argument.

Examples

library(sf, quietly = TRUE)
library(tidygraph, quietly = TRUE)

# Create a network.
net = as_sfnetwork(roxel) |>
  st_transform(3035)

# Create a geometry to test against.
p1 = st_point(c(4151358, 3208045))
p2 = st_point(c(4151340, 3207520))
p3 = st_point(c(4151756, 3207506))
p4 = st_point(c(4151774, 3208031))

poly = st_multipoint(c(p1, p2, p3, p4)) |>
  st_cast('POLYGON') |>
  st_sfc(crs = 3035)

# Use predicate query function in a filter call.

  filter(node_is_within(poly))
