Usage

esp_get_countries_siane(
  year = Sys.Date(),
  epsg = 4258,
  cache = TRUE,
  update_cache = FALSE,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  country = 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 indicating whether to display informational messages.
country	Character vector of country codes. Accepts country names, ISO3 country codes or ISO2 country codes. See also countrycode::countrycode().

Value

A sf object.

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.
