Errors raised by a5R have class a5R_error, so code can catch them apart
from other errors, and most also have a class naming what went wrong:
Details
a5R_error_resolution: a resolution that is missing, out of range, or on the wrong side of a cell's own resolution.a5R_error_geometry: coordinates or geometries that cannot be indexed, such as latitudes beyond 90 degrees, projected coordinates, or malformed rings.a5R_error_cell: input that cannot be read as cells or coverings, such as a string that is not a hex id.a5R_error_arrow: Arrow input of the wrong type.a5R_error_size: a result too large to build.a5R_error_argument: any other invalid argument.
Errors from the a5 Rust library carry only a5R_error unless a5R can
tell what they concern.
Examples
res <- tryCatch(
a5_lonlat_to_cell(0, 91, resolution = 5),
a5R_error_geometry = function(e) "bad coordinates"
)
res
#> [1] "bad coordinates"
