How to convert a data frame to spatial coordinates
I have a dataset with full and complete coordinates. I would like to add a "spatial point" column as described in the package sf
. I'm not very good at spatial data, but here's a reproducible example:
data<-data.frame(Other_column=c("Street Presidente","Street",".",".",".","."),
RS=c(55,56,87,98,25,12),
longitude = c(28.6979, 53.0046, 4.3261, 24.9019,26.7328, 53.2439),
latitude = c(-7.4197, -4.7089, -6.7541, 4.7817, 2.1643, -5.65)
)
data
Other_column R$ longitude latitude
"Street Presidente.." 55 28.6979 -7.4197
"Street ..." 56 53.0046 -4.7089
. 87 4.3261 -6.7541
. 98 24.9019 4.7817
. 25 26.7328 2.1643
. 12 53.2439 -5.6500
And I want something like a new column in the dataframe that contains a column containing geometric information (geom_point) at lat / long, than can be interpreted by other spatial functions in sf
(and godal / cgal ecossystem).
Other_column R$ longitude latitude geom_point
"Street Presidente.." 55 28.6979 -7.4197
"Street ..." 56 53.0046 -4.7089
. 87 4.3261 -6.7541
. 98 24.9019 4.7817
. 25 26.7328 2.1643
. 12 53.2439 -5.6500
