esp_get_hypsobath: Hypsometry and bathymetry of Spain - SIANE

In mapSpain: Administrative Boundaries of Spain

Hypsometry and bathymetry of Spain - SIANE

Description

Dataset representing the hypsometry and bathymetry of Spain.

• Hypsometry represents the elevation and depth of features of the Earth's surface relative to mean sea level.

• Bathymetry is the measurement of the depth of water in oceans, rivers, or lakes.

Usage

esp_get_hypsobath(
  epsg = 4258,
  cache = TRUE,
  update_cache = FALSE,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  resolution = c(3, 6.5),
  spatialtype = c("area", "line")
)

Arguments

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 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().
verbose	logical. If TRUE displays informational messages.
resolution	character string or number. Resolution of the geospatial data. One of: "6.5": 1:6.5 million. "3": 1:3 million.
spatialtype	character string. Spatial type of the output. Use "area" for POLYGON or "line" for LINESTRING.
