Convert a spatial (linestring) object to points
The number of points will be double the number of lines with line2points. A
closely related function, line2pointsn returns all the points that were
line vertices. The points corresponding with a given line, i, will be
(2*i):((2*i)+1). The last function, line2vertices, returns all the points
that are vertices but not nodes. If the input l object is composed by only
1 LINESTRING with 2 POINTS, then it returns an empty sf object.
line2points(l, ids = rep(1:nrow(l))) line2pointsn(l) line2vertices(l)
| l | An  | 
| ids | Vector of ids (by default  |
