setCRS

Set (or transform) the coordinate reference system of a spatial object.

Description

Set (or transform) the coordinate reference system of a spatial object.

Usage

setCRS(x, crs, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'ANY'
setCRS(x)

## S4 method for signature 'geom'
setCRS(x, crs = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'Spatial'
setCRS(x, crs = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'sf'
setCRS(x, crs = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'Raster'
setCRS(x, crs = NULL)

Arguments

`x`	the object for which to set the coordinate reference system.
`crs`	[`character(1)`] the coordinate reference system to set for this object.
`...`	other arguments.

Details

In case an object does not yet have a coordinate reference system assigned, this function simply assigns it. In case the object has already a valid crs, a transformation to the new crs will be carried out. The transformation is computed for all classes with the standard defined in the rgdal package.

Value

The object x with an assigned or transformed coordinate reference system.
