City where the municipal public authorities are based from SIANE

Get a sf POINT with the location of the political powers for each municipality.

Note that this differs from the centroid of the boundaries of the municipality, returned by esp_get_munic_siane().

Usage

esp_get_capimun(
  year = Sys.Date(),
  epsg = 4258,
  cache = TRUE,
  update_cache = FALSE,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  region = NULL,
  munic = NULL,

Arguments

year

Character string or number. Release year. It must use format YYYY (assuming end of year) or YYYY-MM-DD. Historical information starts as of 2005.

epsg

Character string or number. Projection of the map: 4-digit EPSG code. One of:

"4258": ETRS89.
"4326": WGS84.
"3035": ETRS89 / ETRS-LAEA.
"3857": Pseudo-Mercator.

cache

Logical. Whether to cache downloaded files. Defaults to TRUE. See Caching.

update_cache

Logical. If TRUE, refreshes the cached file and forces a new download. Defaults to FALSE.

cache_dir

Character string. A path to a cache directory. See Caching.

verbose

A logical value. If TRUE displays informational messages.

region

Optional. A vector of region names, NUTS or ISO codes (see esp_dict_region_code()).

munic

Character string. A name or regex expression with the names of the required municipalities. Use NULL to return all municipalities.

moveCAN

A logical TRUE/FALSE or a vector of coordinates c(lat, lon). It places the Canary Islands close to Spain's mainland. Initial position can be adjusted using the vector of coordinates. See Displacing the Canary Islands in esp_move_can().

rawcols

Logical. If TRUE, adds the raw columns of the resulting object as provided by IGN.

Value

A sf object.

Details

When using region you can use and mix names and NUTS codes (levels 1, 2 or 3), ISO codes (corresponding to level 2 or 3) or "cpro" (see esp_codelist).

When calling a higher level (province, Autonomous Community or City, or NUTS 1), all municipalities of that level are added.

Caching

Functions that download data store files in cache_dir. When cache_dir is NULL, they use the active package cache, which defaults to a temporary directory. Set update_cache = TRUE to replace an existing cached file. See Caching strategies in esp_set_cache_dir() to configure a persistent cache.

Examples

# \donttest{
# Compare municipality centroids against esp_get_capimun().

# Get the municipality boundary.
area <- esp_get_munic_siane(munic = "Valladolid", epsg = 3857)

# Area in km2.
print(paste0(round(as.double(sf::st_area(area)) / 1000000, 2), " km2"))
#> [1] "353.42 km2"

# Extract the centroid.
centroid <- sf::st_centroid(area)
#> Warning: st_centroid assumes attributes are constant over geometries
centroid$type <- "Centroid"

# Compare with capimun.
capimun <- esp_get_capimun(munic = "Valladolid", epsg = 3857)
capimun$type <- "Capimun"

# Join both point geometries.
points <- dplyr::bind_rows(centroid, capimun)

# Check on a plot.
