Uses a cross section retrieval web services to retrieve a cross section given a point and specified width. Orientation is determined based on direction of a the flowline found near point. This function uses a 10m National Elevation Dataset request on the back end.

get_xs_point(point, width, num_pts)

Arguments

point

sfc POINT including crs as created by: sf::st_sfc(sf::st_point(.. ,..), crs)crs.

width

Cross section width in meters.

num_pts

numeric number of points to retrieve along the cross section.

Value

sf data.frame containing points retrieved.

Examples

point <- sf::st_sfc(sf::st_point(x = c(-105.97218, 36.17592)), crs = 4326)
