This package provides functions that use

`liblwgeom`, including `st_geohash()`,

`st_minimum_bounding_circle()`, `st_split()`, `st_subdivide()`,

`st_transform_proj()` (transform through proj, omitting

GDAL) and `st_as_sfc.TWKB()` (creates `sfc` from [tiny

wkb](https://github.com/TWKB/Specification/blob/master/twkb.md)),

as well as the geodetic (spherical/ellipsoidal) geometry

functions `st_geod_area()`, 

`st_geod_length()`, 

`st_geod_distance()`, 

`st_geod_covers()`,

`st_geod_azimuth()`, 

and `st_geod_segmentize()`. The previously offered `st_make_valid()`

is now a generic in package `sf` (`sf::st_make_valid()`).

## Installing 

`lwgeom` depends on [sf](https://github.com/r-spatial/sf), which

has to be installed first.  This package uses the liblwgeom library,

and compiles a shipped (and modified) version of liblwgeom.  It links

to the GEOS and PROJ libraries. 

To install from source, it should be enough to have installed

`sf` from source; the resources for this package (PROJ, GEOS)

are being reused.

## lwgeom source now included 

Previous to version 0.1-6, `lwgeom` would also try to link the system

library liblwgeom; from 0.1-6 on only the shipped version is used.
