)A list of class basemapData containing information required for plotting a basemap.
Map limits. One of the following:
numeric vector of length 4: The first element defines the start longitude, the second element the end longitude (counter-clockwise), the third element the minimum latitude, and the fourth element the maximum latitude of the bounding box. Also accepts sf::st_bbox type named vectors with limits in any order. The coordinates can be given as decimal degrees or coordinate units for shapefiles used by a projected map. Produces a rectangular map. Latitude limits not given in min-max order are automatically ordered to respect this requirement.
single integer between 30 and 88 or -88 and -30 produces a polar map for the Arctic or Antarctic, respectively.
Can be omitted if data or shapefiles are defined.
A data frame, sp, or sf shape containing longitude and latitude coordinates. If a data frame, the coordinates have to be given in decimal degrees. The limits are extracted from these coordinates and produce a rectangular map. Suited for situations where a certain dataset is plotted on a map. The function attempts to guess the correct columns and it is advised to use intuitive column names for longitude (such as "lon", "long", or "longitude") and latitude ("lat", "latitude") columns. Can be omitted if limits or shapefiles are defined.
Either a list containing shapefile information or a character argument referring to a name of pre-made shapefiles in shapefile_list. This name is partially matched. Can be omitted if limits or data is defined as decimal degrees.
Coordinate reference system (CRS) for the map. If NULL (default), the CRS is selected automatically based on limits, data, or shapefiles. Passed to st_crs. Typically integers giving the EPGS code are the easiest. Cannot be used simultaneously with rotate.
Logical indicating whether bathymetry should be added to the map. Functions together with bathy.style. See Details.
Integer defining the downsampling rate for raster bathymetries. A value of 0 (default) does not downsample, 1 skips every second row, 2 every second and third. See geom_stars
Logical indicating whether glaciers and ice sheets should be added to the map.
Numeric value specifying the interval of longitude and latitude grids. NULL finds reasonable defaults depending on limits.
Expansion factor for map limits. Can be used to zoom in (decrease the value under 1) and out (increase the value over 1) automatically (data) limited maps. Defaults to 1, which means that outermost data points are located at the boundaries of the plotting region.
Logical indicating whether the projected maps should be rotated to point towards the pole relative to the mid-longitude limit.
Logical indicating whether information about the projection and guessed column names should be returned as messages. Set to FALSE to make the function silent.

This is an internal function, which is automatically run by the basemap function. Common users do not need to worry about these details.
