for-loop question for spatial buffer in R

Question

I am doing a sensitivity analysis for a spatial buffer.

buffer_house <- gBuffer(house_prj, width = 1, byid = TRUE)

How would I do a for-loop to increase the buffer size for each iteration.

For example a width = 5 in one iteration up to width = 100by running a loop for 5m intervals.

Can anyone help please

Answer 1

You would do this:

for(width in seq(5, 100, 5)){
  buffer_house <- gBuffer(house_prj, width = width, byid = TRUE)
}

You would still have to save all of those outcomes though. The code I showed you will overwrite buffer_house each time.
