Simplified World Map
Description
Map used to support the validation of the original geographical coordinates,
mainly regarding the detection of problematic coordinates falling outside its
country borders. It was generated from the smallest scale available in
'Natural Earth' (i.e. 1:110 m), which consists in 183 polygons for 178
countries in the world. This map was complemented with 77 polygons for
missing countries and dependent territories (mainly islands), not included in
'Natural Earth', so that this map can match the other maps used in
plantR.
Usage
data(world)
Format
a MULTIPOLYGON 'sf' object with 183 features and 2 fields: iso_a2
(country code) and 'name' (edited country name).
Details
Country long names were edited to match the format of the plantR default
gazetteer and original polygons were simplified (tolerance: 0.001 decimal
degrees). Only the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes and the long names of each
country are stored with the polygons.
Reference system: WSG84
