Description

Returns provinces of Spain at a specified scale.

Usage

esp_get_prov_siane(
  prov = NULL,
  year = Sys.Date(),
  epsg = 4258,
  cache = TRUE,
  update_cache = FALSE,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  resolution = c(3, 6.5, 10),
  moveCAN = TRUE,
  rawcols = FALSE
)

Arguments

prov	A vector of names and/or codes for provinces or NULL to get all the provinces. See Details.
year	character string or number. Release year, it must be in formats 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 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: "10": 1:10 million. "6.5": 1:6.5 million. "3": 1:3 million.
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().
rawcols	logical. Setting this to TRUE will add the raw columns of the resulting object as provided by IGN.

Details

When using prov you can use and mix names and NUTS codes (levels 1, 2 or 3), ISO codes (corresponding to level 2 or 3) or "cpro" (see esp_codelist).

Ceuta and Melilla are considered as provinces in this dataset.

When calling a higher level (Autonomous Community or NUTS1), all the provinces of that level will be added.

Value

A sf object.
