Helper Function, which transforms SpatialPolygons or coordinates in matrix/data.frame - form to a Simple Feature Polygon

Usage

isSpatial(shape, proj)

Arguments

shape

An area as SpatialPolygon, SimpleFeature Polygon or coordinates as matrix/data.frame

proj

Which Projection should be assigned to matrix / data.frame coordinates

Value

A Simple Feature Polygon

Details

If the columns are named, it will look for common abbreviation to match x/y or long/lat columns. If the columns are not named, the first 2 numeric columns are taken.
