Download spatial data of micro regions

Source: R/read_micro_region.R
read_micro_region.Rd

Data at scale 1:250,000, using Geodetic reference system "SIRGAS2000" and CRS(4674)

Usage

read_micro_region(
  code_micro = "all",
  year = 2010,
  simplified = TRUE,
  showProgress = TRUE,
  cache = TRUE
)

Arguments

code_micro

5-digit code of a micro region. If the two-digit code or a two-letter uppercase abbreviation of a state is passed, (e.g. 33 or "RJ") the function will load all micro regions of that state. If code_micro="all" (Default), the function downloads all micro regions of the country.

year

Numeric. Year of the data in YYYY format. Defaults to 2010.

simplified

Logic FALSE or TRUE, indicating whether the function should return the data set with 'original' spatial resolution or a data set with 'simplified' geometry. Defaults to TRUE. For spatial analysis and statistics users should set simplified = FALSE. Borders have been simplified by removing vertices of borders using st_simplify{sf} preserving topology with a dTolerance of 100.

showProgress

Logical. Defaults to TRUE display progress bar.

cache

Logical. Whether the function should read the data cached locally, which is faster. Defaults to cache = TRUE. By default, geobr stores data files in a temporary directory that exists only within each R session. If cache = FALSE, the function will download the data again and overwrite the local file.

Value

An "sf" "data.frame" object

Examples

# Read an specific micro region a given year
  micro <- read_micro_region(code_micro=11008, year=2018)
#> Using year/date 2018

# Read micro regions of a state at a given year
  micro <- read_micro_region(code_micro=12, year=2017)
#> Using year/date 2017
  micro <- read_micro_region(code_micro="AM", year=2000)
#> Using year/date 2000

# Read all micro regions at a given year
  micro <- read_micro_region(code_micro="all", year=2010)
#> Using year/date 2010
