Boundaries of Spain - GISCO

Source: R/esp-get-spain.R
esp_get_spain.Rd

Returns the boundaries of Spain as a single sf POLYGON at a specified scale.

Usage

esp_get_spain(moveCAN = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

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().

Arguments passed on to esp_get_nuts

year

year character string or number. Release year of the file. See giscoR::gisco_get_nuts() for valid values.

epsg

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

cache

logical. Whether to do caching. Default is TRUE. See Caching strategies section in esp_set_cache_dir().

update_cache

logical. Should the cached file be refreshed? Default is FALSE. When set to TRUE, it will force a new download.

cache_dir

character string. A path to a cache directory. See Caching strategies section in esp_set_cache_dir().

ext

character. Extension of the file (default "gpkg"). See giscoR::gisco_get_nuts().

verbose

logical. If TRUE displays informational messages.

resolution

character string or number. Resolution of the geospatial data. One of:

  • "60": 1:60 million.

  • "20": 1:20 million.

  • "10": 1:10 million.

  • "03": 1:3 million.

  • "01": 1:1 million.

Value

A sf POLYGON object.
