Create points

Create points from coordinates. st_point is simply a wrapper around st_makepoint.

st_makepoint(x, y)

st_point(x, y)

Arguments

x	Numeric vector of x coordinates (e.g. longitude) or a list of pairs of coordinates. In the latter case y can be missing.
y	Numeric vector of y coordinates (e.g. latitude).

Value

List column of points with the same length than x and y.

Details

x amd y must be of the same length. If one of the coordiantes are missing, it creates and empty point geometry.

Examples

library(tibble)
library(dplyr)

df <- tibble(longitude = -71.1043, latitude = 42.3150)
df %>%
  mutate(geometry = st_point(longitude, latitude))
#> # A tibble: 1 x 3
#>   longitude latitude          geometry
#>       <dbl>    <dbl>           <POINT>
#> 1     -71.1     42.3 (-71.1043 42.315)
