Usage

area(spatobj = NULL, folder = NULL, shape = NULL)

Arguments

spatobj	a spatial object (class sf, sfc or sfg) containing geographic information
folder	a character vector with the folder (directory) name indicating where the shapefile with the geographic information is located.
shape	a character vector with the name of the shapefile (without the .shp extension) which contains the geographic information
