Enables the construction of flexible urban delineations that
can be tailored to specific applications or research questions, see Van
Migerode et al. (2024) <DOI:10.1177/23998083241262545> and Van Migerode
et al. (2025) <DOI:10.5281/zenodo.15173220>.
Originally developed to flexibly reconstruct the Degree of
Urbanisation classification of cities,
towns and rural areas developed by Dijkstra et al.
(2021) <DOI:10.1016/j.jue.2020.103312>. Now it also support a broader
range of delineation approaches, using multiple datasets – including
population, built-up area, and night-time light grids – and different
thresholding methods.

<dl><dt>classification</dt>
<dd>SpatRaster / character. A SpatRaster with the grid cell classification or the path to the grid cell classification file</dd>
<dt>extent</dt>
<dd>SpatExtent. If not <code>NULL</code>, the grid classification will be cropped to the provided extent before plotting</dd>
<dt>level1</dt>
