Shift features by azimuth and distance

Shift features by azimuth and distance

shiftAz(object, az, dist)

Arguments

object	The object to be shifted.
az	Shift azimuth, in decimal degrees.
dist	Shift distance, in object projection units.

Value

The shifted object.

Examples

s = c(270, 90, 180, 0)
build_shifted = shiftAz(build, az = s, dist = 2.5)
plot(build)
plot(build_shifted, add = TRUE, border = "red")
raster::text(rgeos::gCentroid(build, byid = TRUE), s)
