Drop Staten Island from a map

Crop a spatial object so that Staten Island is removed. The map is first clipped on the west, just beyond the easternmost point of the Staten Island polygon, and then clipped on the south, just below the southernmost tip of Breezy Point (the southern tip of Queens).

Usage

drop_staten_island(x, buffer = 10)

Arguments

x

An sf object or a terra::SpatRaster. Must have a defined CRS.

buffer

Numeric scalar giving the offset, in the map units of x's CRS, used to place the cut "just beyond" the Staten Island and Breezy Point extremes. Defaults to 10 (feet when x uses EPSG:2263, the default for maps in this package).

Value

An object of the same class as x, cropped to exclude Staten Island.

Details

This is an S3 generic with methods for sf objects and terra::SpatRaster rasters.
