Stable short hash of a study-area object

Returns a short hexadecimal hash (xxhash64) of the serialized object, used to namespace climate caches so that distinct study areas don't collide. Two study-area objects that are equal under identical() return the same hash; otherwise the hashes differ.

Usage

.studyArea_hash(studyArea)

Arguments

studyArea

any R object — typically an sf polygons object.

Value

character scalar — a 16-character hex hash.
