Convert polygons into their component linestrings

Usage

polygons_to_linestring(.sf)

Arguments

.sf

The spatial dataframe containing one or more polygons

Value

An sf object (simple feature collection) with geometry type LINESTRING. The returned object contains:

polygon_id

Integer. The row index of the originating polygon from the input .sf object, enabling linkage back to the source polygon.

line_id

Integer. A sequential identifier for each line segment within its originating polygon. Line segments are ordered according to the vertex sequence of the polygon boundary.

...

All original attributes from the input .sf object are preserved and joined back via polygon_id.

geometry

LINESTRING geometry. Each line segment represents one edge of the original polygon boundary.

The CRS of the output matches the input .sf object (transformed to EPSG:5070 during processing).
