Format and Print Coords or Waypoints
format.RdFormat and print objects of class "coords" or "waypoints".
Usage
# S3 method for class 'coords'
print(x, ..., max = NULL)
# S3 method for class 'waypoints'
print(x, ..., fmt = NULL, max = NULL)
# S3 method for class 'coords'
format(x, ..., usenames = TRUE, validate = TRUE, fmt = 0L)
# S3 method for class 'waypoints'
format(x, ..., usenames = TRUE, validate = TRUE, fmt = 0L)
ll_headers(width, fmt)Arguments
- x
object of class
"coords"created by functionas_coords(), or class"waypoints"created by functionas_waypoints().- ...
further arguments passed to or from other methods.
- max
numeric or
NULL, specifying the maximal number of entries to be printed. By default, whenNULL,getOption("max.print")used.- fmt
integer,1L,2Lor3L, specifying the required coordinate format.- usenames
logical, whether or not to include names in formatted output; defaultTRUE.- validate
logical, whether or not tovalidatexbefore formatting; defaultTRUE.- width
charactervector, used to match width of headers to formatted output.
Value
The format() methods for both classes "coords" and "waypoints" return a
character vector, respectively of length length(x) or nrow(x), and
containing values formatted in decimal degrees, degrees and minutes, or degrees, minutes and
seconds as appropriate.
Details
The format() methods for "coords" and "waypoints" objects
output elegantly formatted character vector representations of their arguments, which are
used by their respective print() methods.
Objects of class "coords" specified in degrees and minutes or in degrees,
minutes and seconds and with a "latlon" attribute, and similarly specified
"waypoints" objects are formatted with individual coordinate values followed by a capital
letter representing the cardinal direction i.e., N, E, S or W.
"coords" objects lacking a "latlon" attribute have formatted values followed by two
possible cardinal directions in parentheses i.e., (N/E) for positive values and
(S/W) for negative values. Values of "coords" or "waypoints" objects in
decimal degrees are formatted prefixed with their sign, if negative; cardinal direction is
not shown, but for "coords" objects with a "latlon" attribute, the formatted values
are suffixed by either lat or lon.
Prior to formatting and printing, "coords" or "waypoints" objects are checked to
ensure that their "valid" attribute (in the case of a "coords" object), or
"validlat" and "validlon" attributes (in the case of a "waypoints" object)
are present and all TRUE i.e., valid. If these attributes are found to contain any
FALSE i.e. invalid values, a warning is issued and similarly, if these attributes are
missing, a warning is issued and the objects are re-validated as described under
validate().
The optional argument fmt may be used to specify the coordinate format desired for
formatting or printing "coords" or "waypoints" objects, see the fmt argument
for as_coords() and as_waypoints(); using the
default, fmt = 0L, will format or print in the existing coordinate format.
ll_headers() outputs the headings "Latitude ... Longitude" formatted to the width
of argument width, adjusted for format fmt and is primarily intended for use by the
print() method for class "waypoints". Likewise argument validate is used by
the print() methods for classes "coords" and "waypoints" to prevent
unnecessary replicate validation and may otherwise be left as the default.
