Get Italian coordinates

Description

Loads and returns names, ids, and coordinates for Italian statistical unit, ready to use with mapping functions and other "map" functions that accept an sf object.

Usage

loadCoordIT(unit = c("none","ripartizione", "regione", "provincia","comune"),
            year = c("2021","2020", "2019", "2018", "2017"),
            unit_subset = NULL, matchWith = NULL,
            dir = NULL, use_cache = TRUE, use_internet = TRUE, crs = NULL)

Arguments

unit	the type of Italian statistical unit to link
year	year of the analysis
unit_subset	character vector of unit names to extract
matchWith	the type of id
dir	local directory in which shape files are stored
use_cache	a logical value indicating whether to use the cache
use_internet	a logical value indicating wheter the coordinates are downloaded from https://github.com/dataallaround/geospatial. If FALSE the maps downloaded during package installation will be used
crs	coordinate reference system. Look at st_crs
