read_meso_region: Download spatial data of meso regions

Description

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

Usage

read_meso_region(
  code_meso = "all",
  year = 2010,
  simplified = TRUE,
  showProgress = TRUE
)

Arguments

code_meso

The 4-digit code of a meso 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 meso regions of that state. If code_meso="all", all meso regions of the country are loaded.

year

A year number in YYYY format. Defaults to 2010

simplified

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

showProgress

Logical. Defaults to TRUE display progress bar

Value

An "sf" "data.frame" object
