The objective of the package openRspat is to create API access to the free and open source geodatasets and provide functionalities to process those datasets. The aim is to provide users with an option to pass an argument which might be a polygon or WDPAID and return them the results they wanted in a form of data frame.
Note: With every new functions being added to the repo, I will keep updating this readme file. You can still use the package for the functions mentioned below. Also, keep checking the readme file for the possible future updates.
This section will take you through a tour on how to use this package on your R environment.
You can install the released version of openRspat from GitHub with:
remotes::install_github("Ohm-Np/openRspat")
This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:
1. area_proj
The function generates projection string in Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area Projection of your desired sf object.
library(openRspat)
## basic example code
fname <- system.file("shape/nc.shp", package="sf")
sf <- sf::st_read(fname)
aoi <- sf[1, ]
area_proj(aoi)
