All spatial objects in the slendr package are internally represented as
Simple Features (sf
) objects. This fact is hidden in most
circumstances this, as the goal of the slendr package is to provide
functionality at a much higher level (population boundaries, geographic
regions, instead of individual polygons and other "low-level" geometric
objects), without the users having to worry about low-level details involved
in handling spatial geometries. However, the full sf
object
representation can be always printed by calling x[]
.
