Description

Get the name, label or number of the canton from the Gemeindenummer

Usage

get_kanton(x, render = "label", bfs = TRUE)

Arguments

x	a vector of codes to be converted
render	Return label (default), the name or the number?
bfs	x is the Gemeindenummer (default) or the canton number?

Details

Each canton uses certain ranges of the Gemeindenummer (GEOSTAT-Nr. or BFS-Nr.) which runs from 1 to 6806. This function converts Gemeindenummern either to the name of the canton (if render="name"), the two-character label (render="label") or the canton number (render="number").

x can either be the 1-4 digit Gemeindenummer (set bfs=TRUE) or the 1-2 digits canton number (bfs=FALSE). If x is not a numeric vector, it is coerced to one.

Value

a character vector of names/labels or a numeric vector.

Examples

  get_kanton( c("02", "3"), bfs=TRUE )
