Defines either an abstract geographic landscape (blank or containing user-defined landscape) or using a real Earth cartographic data from the Natural Earth project (https://www.naturalearthdata.com).

world(xrange, yrange, landscape = "naturalearth", crs = NULL, ne_dir = NULL)

Arguments

xrange Two-dimensional vector specifying minimum and maximum horizontal range ("longitude" if using real Earth cartographic data) Two-dimensional vector specifying minimum and maximum vertical range ("latitude" if using real Earth cartographic data) Either "blank" (for blank abstract geography), "naturalearth" (for real Earth geography) or an object of the class sf defining abstract geographic features of the world EPSG code of a coordinate reference system to use for spatial operations. No CRS is assumed by default (NULL), implying an abstract landscape not tied to any real-world geographic region (when landscape = "blank" or when landscape is a custom-defined geographic landscape), or implying WGS-84 (EPSG 4326) coordinate system when a real Earth landscape was defined (landscape = "naturalearth"). Path to the directory where Natural Earth data was manually downloaded and unzipped from https://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/110m-physical-vectors (used only when landscape = "naturalearth")

Value

Object of the class slendr_map
