svc.RdMethods to create a SpatVectorCollection. This is an object to hold "sub-datasets", each a SpatVector, perhaps of different geometry type.
# S4 method for missing
svc(x)
# S4 method for SpatVector
svc(x, ...)
# S4 method for list
svc(x)
# S4 method for character
svc(x, layer="", query="", extent=NULL, filter=NULL)SpatVector, character (filename), list with SpatVectors, or missing
Additional SpatVectors
character. layer name to select a layer from a file (database) with multiple layers
character. An query to subset the dataset in the OGR-SQL dialect
Spat* object. The extent of the object is used as a spatial filter to select the geometries to read. Ignored if filter is not NULL
SpatVector. Used as a spatial filter to select geometries to read (the convex hull is used for lines or points). It is guaranteed that all features that overlap with the extent of filter will be returned. It can happen that additional geometries are returned
