Extracts the archive to a temporary directory and reads each KML layer with sf::read_sf() after sf::st_layers(). Multiple KML files or multiple layers yield one row per layer; layer_name is simplified when there is only one layer in one file.

read_kmz(path, quiet = TRUE, by_bbox = NULL, ...)

Arguments

path

Path to a .kmz file.

quiet

Passed to sf::read_sf().

by_bbox

If NULL (default), every feature is read. Otherwise an sf, sfc, bbox or named numeric vector (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax) whose bounding box limits the features read: only features that intersect it are returned, filtered by GDAL at read time through the wkt_filter argument of sf::st_read(). The bounding box is reprojected to each layer's CRS; if it has no CRS, its coordinates are assumed to be in the layer's CRS. If the layer has no CRS it can be reprojected to (no .prj, or an undefined LOCAL_CS), the coordinates are used as-is with a warning. Features with empty geometry are dropped. Layers without a geometry column (e.g. a shapefile made of a .dbf only, or an attribute table in a GeoPackage) cannot be filtered: they are read in full with a warning. When set, nrows_aka_features reports the number of features read, not the layer total. Cannot be combined with wkt_filter in ....

...

Additional arguments passed to sf::read_sf().

Value

A tibble with the same columns as read_gdb(). Here fpath is the path to the original .kmz (not the temporary .kml), and file_type is typically "kmz". Metadata columns still come from sf::st_layers() on the extracted KML file used for reading.
