geodata_path: Set the data path

In rspatial/geodata: Download Geographic Data

Set the data path

Description

This function allows you set or get the default download cache path for the geodata package. The default path is ignored if you set the path argument in a geodata function to another value.

The "factory-fresh" default location for downloads is returned by file.path(rappdirs::user_data_dir(), ".geodata")

You can set it to another value with this function. To save your own default path across sessions, you can add a line like this:

options( geodata_default_path = "c:/your/geodata/path") to the file returned by file.path( R.home(), "etc/Rprofile.site")

Alternatively, you can also set a system variable "GEODATA_PATH" to the desired path.

Usage

geodata_path(path)

Arguments

path	character. Path name where geodata should be download and cache data. If missing, the current default path is returned. Use NA to restore the original value

Value

character
