In mapindiatools: Mapping Data for 'mapindia' Package

mapindiatools

The goal of mapindiatools is to serve as a container package for the maps data used in mapindia package. This data has been separated to keep the size of the mapindia package manageable and facilitate easier maintenance, while enabling more frequent updates to the Indian map data frame without relying on mapindia package updates.

Map data

The geojson files are stored in the data-raw/geojson_files folder. These files were read and appropriately modified using the build_mapping_data() function and saved as gpkg files in the inst/extdata folder. The centroids were also calculated using the compute_centroids() function.

Note: The 3-digit code11 codes for districts were merged with the 2-digit state codes to create a 5-digit code for the districts.

Installation

You can install the development version of mapindiatools from GitHub with:

# install.packages("pak")
