location	vector. UN Pop Div LocName or LocID
AsfrDatesIn	numeric. Vector of decimal dates.

Examples

# Total fertility ratio calculated from ASFRx downloaded from WPP19. 
# See `downloadnLx` for analogous examples on multiple countries or using codes instead of names. 
ASFR_Arg <- downloadAsfr(Asfrmat = NULL, location = "Argentina", AsfrDatesIn = 1950:2025)
## Not run: 
plot(1950:2025, as.numeric(colSums(ASFR_Arg))*5, xlab = "Year", ylab="TFR", ylim=c(1.5,4), t="l")
