transform method for sf objects

Can be used to create or modify attribute variables; for transforming geometries see st_transform, and all other functions starting with st_.

# S3 method for sf
transform(`_data`, ...)

Arguments

_data	object of class sf
...	Further arguments of the form new_variable=expression

Examples

a = data.frame(x1 = 1:3, x2 = 5:7)
st_geometry(a) = st_sfc(st_point(c(0,0)), st_point(c(1,1)), st_point(c(2,2)))
transform(a, x1_sq = x1^2)
#> Simple feature collection with 3 features and 3 fields
#> geometry type:  POINT
#> dimension:      XY
#> bbox:           xmin: 0 ymin: 0 xmax: 2 ymax: 2
#> CRS:            NA
#>   x1 x2 x1_sq    geometry
#> 1  1  5     1 POINT (0 0)
#> 2  2  6     4 POINT (1 1)
#> 3  3  7     9 POINT (2 2)
transform(a, x1_x2 = x1*x2)
