Description

Determine whether coordinates lie in a given statistical area.

Usage

latlon2SA(
  lat,
  lon,
  to = c("STE", "SA2", "SA1", "SA3", "SA4"),
  yr = c("2016", "2011"),
  return = c("v", "sp"),
  NAME = TRUE,
  .shapefile = NULL
)

Value

The statistical area that contains each point.

Arguments

lat, lon

Numeric vector representing coordinates in decimal degrees. Coordinates south of the equator have lat < 0.

to

The statistical area to convert to.

yr

The year of the statistical area.

return

Whether to return an atomic vector (v) representing the shapefile for each point lat, lon or a spatial points object from package sp.

NAME

(logical, default: TRUE) whether to use the name or number of the statistical area

.shapefile

If specified, an arbitrary shapefile containing the statistical areas to locate.

Examples
