osmGet: Plot OSM basemap (deprecated)

In townleym/mSpatial: Some Convenience Functions building on the rGeos library

Description

Convenience wrapper around the openmap() function to return the basemap around an input geometry. This has been deprecated in favor of topleft() and bottomright().

Usage

osmGet(geom, tolerance = 2, tileserver = "skobbler")

Arguments

geom	Input geometry (polygon)
tolerance	multiplier for the size of the bounding box around the input geometry
tileserver	see the openmap() documentation for options

Details

Note: for now it really only works around a polygon

Examples

basemap = osmGet(cambridge_town, tolerance = 1.5, tileserver = "mapbox")
plot(basemap)
# skobbler maps look better with a little purple haze
plot(spTransform(gBoundingPoly(cambridge_town, tolerance = 1.5), osm()), add = T, col = col2hex("lavender", "40"), border = NA)
plot(spTransform(cambridge_town, osm()), add = T, col = col2hex("skyblue", "80"))
