Overview

About

Maintained by Irucka EmbryCRAN page ↗GitLab ↗Issues ↗

Contains a WGS84 datum map of the USA, which includes all Commonwealth and State boundaries & also includes Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. This map is a reprojection of the NAD83 datum map from the USGS National Map. This package contains a subset of the data included in the 'USA.state.boundaries.data' package, which is available in a 'drat' repository. To install that data package, please follow the instructions at https://gitlab.com/iembry/usa.state.boundaries.data.

Changes in 1.0.1

Removed graphics, gotop, raster, rgdal (being retired in 2023), and ggspatial from Suggests & sp from Imports
Added spelling and sf to Suggests
The creation of the data set has been moved from sp and rgdal to sf only. The state_boundaries_wgs84 data set from USA.state.boundaries.data package has been included in this package as the only data set.
The vignette & the NAD 1983 Albers Projection of the USA Commonwealth and State boundaries data set have been removed to reduce the package size to aid inclusion into CRAN

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("USA.state.boundaries", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("iembry/usa.state.boundaries")

Development version from iembry/usa.state.boundaries. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-usa.state.boundaries

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-USA.state.boundaries

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-USA.state.boundaries

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
