In matteodefelice/panas: Reduce the friction when working with maps & time-series

Description

The function defines in which region a set of coordinates (stored into a data.frame) lie The administrative boundaries can be chosen from a set of pre-definites shapefiles.

Usage

get_region_from_coordinates(obj, shapefile = "NUTS0",
  path_to_shapefile = NULL)

Arguments

obj	A data frame of coordinates stored using lat/lon coordinates. See Details section for further details.
shapefile	The shapefile to be used to aggregate the grid points.

Details

Details obj must be a data frame containing two variables: 1. Latitude: a double in the range -90, 90 named as lat, Lat, latitude, latit, etc. 2. Longitude: a double in the range -180, 180 named as lon, Lon, longitude, long, etc.

The shapefiles available are the following:

• NUTS0-2: Data from EUROSTAT NUTS (small islands removed) https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco/geodata/reference-data/administrative-units-statistical-units/nutscountries_EU

• eh2050: cluster as defined in the FP7 e-Highway2050 project

• hybas05: HydroBASINS Level 5 (http://www.hydrosheds.org/page/hydrobasins)

• hybas06: HydroBASINS Level 6 (http://www.hydrosheds.org/page/hydrobasins)
