In mapSpain: Administrative Boundaries and Static Map Tiles for Spain

Railways of Spain from SIANE

Description

This function loads an sf LINESTRING or POINT object representing the nodes and railway lines of Spain.

Usage

esp_get_railway(
  year = Sys.Date(),
  epsg = 4258,
  cache = TRUE,
  update_cache = FALSE,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  spatialtype = c("line", "point")
)

esp_get_stations(
  year = Sys.Date(),
  epsg = 4258,
  cache = TRUE,
  update_cache = FALSE,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

year	Ignored.
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.
spatialtype	character string. Use esp_get_stations() instead of "point" for stations.

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.
