geographr
An R package to test your skills in world geography.
Installation
You can install this package from Github.
```r
First install the devtools package (if not already installed)
install.packages('devtools')
Then install the geographr package
library(devtools) devtools::install_github('ahasverus/geographr')
And load the package
library(geographr) ```
Documentation
The geographr package contains seven main functions. All of these functions are available in two different languages: english (en) and french (fr). English is the default in all the functions.
Refine your geographic skills
```r
Default settings
learning(region = 'world', lang = 'en')
Short version
learning()
User settings usage
learning(region = 'south america', lang = 'fr') ```
Getting the correct spelling of countries and regions
```r
Get the correct spelling of regions
getregionname() getregionname(lang = 'fr')
Get the correct spelling of countries
getcountryname() getcountryname(lang = 'fr') ```
Identify countries on the map
```r
Default settings
find_country(region = 'europa', lang = 'en')
Short version
find_country()
User settings usage
find_country(region = 'africa', lang = 'fr') ```
Identify national flags
```r
Default settings
find_flag(region = 'world', lang = 'en')
Short version
find_flag()
User settings usage
find_flag(region = 'asia', lang = 'fr') ```
Locate regions on the country map
```r
Default settings (random country)
find_region(country = NULL, lang = 'en')
Short version
find_region()
User settings usage
find_region(country = 'spain', lang = 'en') ```
Locate n cities on the map
```r
Default settings (random country)
find_cities(country = NULL, n = 10, lang = 'en')
Short version
find_cities()
User settings usage
find_cities(country = 'france', n = 10, lang = 'en') ```
More than 40,000 towns are available. For instance, one thousand are available for France. But do not overload the map with a too higher number of towns. It will be unclickable...
Notes
The argument lang defines the language of the interface. But it has no impact when you search for a specific region/country: find_cities('spain') is the same as find_cities('Espagne'). Moreover search based on region and country is case-insensitive.
At the end of each function, take a look at the R console: some statistics are provided.
Cities and world shapefile come from the maps package. High resolution shapefiles come from GADM.
For a better visual experience, please do not resize graphical windows.
The function find_cities() needs more development. But it works. Enjoy!
