Rivers and wetlands of Spain - SIANE

Description

Object representing rivers, lagoons, reservoirs and wetlands of Spain.

Usage

esp_get_rivers(
  epsg = 4258,
  cache = TRUE,
  update_cache = FALSE,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  resolution = deprecated(),
  spatialtype = c("line", "area"),
  moveCAN = TRUE,
  name = NULL
)

esp_get_wetlands(
  epsg = 4258,
  cache = TRUE,
  update_cache = FALSE,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  moveCAN = TRUE,
  name = NULL
)

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. Ignored, resolution 3 (the most detailed) will always be provided.
spatialtype	character string. Use esp_get_wetlands() instead of "spatialtype" for wetlands.
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().
name	character string or regex expression. Name of the element(s) to be extracted.
