Opening a spatial subset with {sf}

Intersecting an area of interest with a layer at opening time

Days 3 and 4 of 30DayMapChallenge : « polygons » and « green » (previously).

The CORINE Landcover dataset is distributed as a geopackage weighting more than 8 Go. To limit the memory used when we only work on a subset, we can clip it at opening time. Here we will map the Cyprus Island :

library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
library(stringr)
library(sf)
library(rnaturalearth)
library(glue)

# Using the contour of Cyprus (enlarged) from naturalearth to clip
bb <- ne_countries(scale = "medium", country = "cyprus", returnclass = "sf") %>% 
  st_transform("EPSG:3035") %>% 
  st_buffer(90000) %>% 
  pull(geometry) %>% 
  st_as_text()

# passing the bounding area
