Uses a cross section retrieval web services to retrieve elevation along a path.
get_elev_along_path(points, num_pts, res = 1, status = TRUE)Arguments
- points
sf data.frame containing a point column.
- num_pts
numeric number of points to retrieve along the cross section.
- res
integer resolution of 3D Elevation Program data to request. Must be on of: 1, 3, 5, 10, 30, 60.
- status
logical
Value
sf data.frame containing points retrieved. Names include "id", "distance_m", "elevation_m", "spatial_ref", "geometry", and ".group". .group tracks which input point each set of output points belongs to.
