Get a simplified map of provinces and autonomous communities of Spain

Source: R/esp_get_simplified.R
esp_get_simplified.Rd

Loads a simplified map (sf object) with the boundaries of the provinces or autonomous communities of Spain, as provided by the INE (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica).

Usage

esp_get_simpl_prov(
  prov = NULL,
  update_cache = FALSE,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

esp_get_simpl_ccaa(
  ccaa = NULL,
  update_cache = FALSE,
  cache_dir = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Source

INE: PC_Axis files

Arguments

prov

A vector of names and/or codes for provinces or NULL to get all the provinces. See Details.

update_cache

A logical whether to update cache. Default is FALSE. When set to TRUE it would force a fresh download of the source file.

cache_dir

A path to a cache directory. See About caching.

verbose

Logical, displays information. Useful for debugging, default is FALSE.

ccaa

A vector of names and/or codes for autonomous communities or NULL to get all the autonomous communities. See Details.

Value

A sf POLYGON object.

Details

Results are provided without CRS, as provided on source.

You can use and mix names, ISO codes, "codauto"/"cpro" codes (see esp_codelist) and NUTS codes of different levels.

When using a code corresponding of a higher level (e.g. esp_get_simpl_prov("Andalucia")) all the corresponding units of that level are provided (in this case , all the provinces of Andalucia).

About caching

You can set your cache_dir with esp_set_cache_dir().

Sometimes cached files may be corrupt. On that case, try re-downloading the data setting update_cache = TRUE.

If you experience any problem on download, try to download the corresponding .geojson file by any other method and save it on your cache_dir. Use the option verbose = TRUE for debugging the API query.
