get_regions.RdThe function downloads and returns a list or dataframe containing geometries and attributes for each requested region where a row corresponds to a region. Regions are organized by type (ie. Ecological Region, Administrative Region, and Hexagonal Grfid) and each region type is organized by scale. It is recommended to explore regions using the Biodiversité Québec Atlas web application to determine the region type and scale of interest.
get_regions(fid = NULL, type = NULL, scale = NULL, geometry = TRUE, ...)Optional. character scalar or vector. Returns a dataframe
filtered by the atlas regions table column type specified as parameter.
Accepted values are cadre_eco, admin, and hex
Optional. scalar or vector. Returns a dataframe filtered by the
atlas regions table columns specified as parameter.
Optional. integer scalar or vector. Returns a dataframe
for the region with the specified fid
Optional. integer scalar or vector. Returns a dataframe
IMPORTANT : Running the function without any parameters will return all
regions in the atlas. This can be a very large dataset and may take a long
time to download. It is recommended to use the fid parameter to return a
specific region or the type parameter to return a specific type of region.
It is also possible to exclude the geometry from the results by setting the
geometry parameter to FALSE.
