Description

world_country_polygons shapefile

Usage

data("world_country_polygons")

Format

world_country_polygons stores data objects using classes defined in the sp package or inheriting from those classes updated to sp Y= 1.4 and rgdal >= 1.5.

Since DataVisualization Version 1.2.1 it stores now a CRS objects with a comment containing an WKT2 CRS representation, thanks to a suggestion of Roger Bivand.

Details

Note that the rebuilt CRS object contains a revised version of the input Proj4 string as well as the WKT2 string, and may be used with both older and newer versions of sp. See maptools package for further details. Also note that since sp >= 2.0 maptools and rgdal were deprecated without change to the workflow. See terra for an alternative to maptools.
