Overview

About

Maintained by Diego HernangómezCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Administrative boundaries of Spain at several levels (Autonomous Communities and Cities, provinces, municipalities and 'NUTS'), based on 'GISCO' from 'Eurostat' https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/gisco and 'CartoBase ANE' from 'Instituto Geográfico Nacional' https://www.ign.es/. Includes tools to download and process static map tiles and a 'leaflet' plugin for Spanish public administration tile providers.

Changes in 1.2.1

Console messages now use clearer semantic formatting and distinguish warnings from status alerts.
Query timeout can now also be controlled with the MAPSPAIN_TIMEOUT environment variable.
?esp_tiles_providers: Updated all WMS providers to use service=WMS&version=1.3.0.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("mapSpain", 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("rOpenSpain/mapSpain")

Development version from rOpenSpain/mapSpain. 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-mapspain

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-mapSpain

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-mapSpain

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.
