            year = c("2021","2016", "2013", "2010", "2006", "2003"),
            scale = c("20", "60"), unit_subset = NULL,
            matchWith = NULL, dir = NULL,
            use_cache = TRUE, use_internet = TRUE, crs = NULL)

Value

A data.frame object with columns indicating names, ids, iso and the geometries to map.

Arguments

unit

the type of European statistical unit to link

year

year of the analysis

scale

the scale of the map

unit_subset

character vector of unit names to extract

matchWith

the type of id

dir
