In bhaskarvk/tilegramsR: R Spatial Data for Tilegrams

Project Development Halted

There won't be any more development on this project. It is feature complete from my perspective. Thank you all who have used and contributed to this project.

tilegramsR

The goal of tilegramsR package is to provide R spatial objects in sf format representing various Tilegrams. The primary purpose of this data is to be used for data visualization. The objects provided can be plotted using base R plotting, ggplot2, or leaflet.

To know more about Tilegrams see this post and a this web app.
