Polygons changed when the geom column is converted to text and then back to sfc
try 'digits = 8' or higher in st_as_text e.g.
test_chr <- test |>
dplyr::mutate(geom = sf::st_as_text(geom, EWKT = TRUE, digits = 8)) |>
as.data.frame()
(or set with options("digits" = <8 or higher>))
Default value doesn't seem to be documented in sf, but the source shows it
calls out to lwgeom::st_astext which defaults to whatever options("digits")
value is.

Dear list members,
I hope this message finds you well.
I submit to you a problem with which I have been struggling for several
days without finding the beginning of a solution.
I need (i) to convert the geom column of a sf object into text and
transform the sf object into a dataframe,
(ii) then convert this dataframe back into an sf object.
My problem is that this only operation changes the shape of the original
polygons.
I guess the problem lies with the layer itself, but so far I haven't been
able to find the cause (the crs seems O.K., the geometry seems valid).
Please find attached a test layer containing only three contiguous
polygons and, below, the code needed to reproduce the problem :
test <- sf::st_read("Please add your path/polygons.gpkg")
# Converting the sf object into a dataframe with geom as text
test_chr <- test |>
dplyr::mutate(geom = sf::st_as_text(geom, EWKT = TRUE)) |>
as.data.frame()
# Converting back to a sf object
test_new <- test_chr |>
dplyr::mutate(geom = sf::st_as_sfc(geom)) |>
sf::st_sf()
# Comparing the original ('test') and the new ('test_new') sf objects
plot(test$geom, lwd = 1, border = "blue")
plot(test_new$geom, lwd = 2, lty = 2, border = "red", add = TRUE)
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Lo?c
