Fix transects found on braided river sections (latest)

Usage

fix_braided_transects(
  network,
  transect_lines,
  crosswalk_id = NULL,
  braid_threshold = NULL,
  method = "crosswalk_id",
  precision = 1,
  rm_intersects = TRUE
)

Arguments

network: sf dataframe of hydrologic network, linestrings
transect_lines: sf linestring dataframe, containing cross sections of flowlines in 'network' the output of "cut_cross_sections()" function
crosswalk_id: character, unique ID column
braid_threshold: numeric value, value of the total length of all flowlines in a braid. Only braids with total flowline lengths less than or equal to the threshold will be considered by function (i.e. determines that maximum braid size that fix_braid_transects() should operate on). Default is NULL, which will attempt to fix all the braid transects in the data
method: The method to determine the geometries to cut. Options are "crosswalk_id", "component", or "neighbor". Default is "crosswalk_id"
precision: int, distance in meters to approximate final cross section linestring length. Value you must be greater than 0. Default is 1
rm_intersects: logical, whether to remove transect linestrings that intersect with other parts of the network ('network'). Default is TRUE which will remove intersecting linestrings.

Value

sf object of transect linestrings
