Geoscale (S7 class)

A nested spatial partition: a flat table of weighted leaf regions ("atoms") plus the ordered hierarchy of geoframes that groups them.

Usage

Geoscale(leaftable, geoframes, members, geometry = NULL, meta = list())

leaftable: data.frame with a unique region key column, one column per geoframe in geoframes, and one or more numeric weight columns.
geoframes: Ordered character vector of geoframe names (coarsest first); each name must appear as a column in leaftable.
members: Named list; members[[lvl]] is the full ordered set of codes present at geoframe lvl. Must equal the non-NA values of leaftable[[lvl]] as a set.
geometry: Optional sfc (or NULL) with one geometry per row of leaftable, in the same order.
meta: Named list of attributes (name, desc, weights, default_weight, crs, source, labels).

A Geoscale object.

Construct with geoscale_from_leaftable() (the general escape hatch), geoscale_build() (from a parent-child mapping), or geoscale_from_provider() (from a data source such as Natural Earth).
