In mdsumner/where: Encapsulate Definition of Location

place

The goal of place is to specify a region simply as point (longitude,latitude) and a region around that.

This package does absolutely nothing with this information, but other packages might (get where I’m going …?).

Data at virtualearth.

Installation

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("mdsumner/place")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(place)



## get me outta here
where()
#> where : 88.63528, 27.45667 (lon, lat)
#> width : 111120
#> height: 111120

Ok, get me somewhere specific.

where(156, 34, wh = 100000)  ## 100km either side of that location
#> where : 156, 34 (lon, lat)
#> width : 1e+05
#> height: 1e+05

More useful, give me a defined discretized region around a location.

where(147, -42, wh = c(1, 1) * 5000)
#> where : 147, -42 (lon, lat)
#> width : 5000
#> height: 5000

place("1 George St, Bathurst NSW", wh = c(1, 1.6) * 15000, dimension = 1024)
#> Loading required namespace: tidygeocoder
#> $extent
#> [1] -15000  15000 -24000  24000
#> 
#> $dimension
#> [1] 1024 1638
#> 
#> $projection
#> [1] "+proj=laea +lon_0=149.6 +lat_0=-33.4 +datum=WGS84"
