Add capitals

[ibarraespinosa]

Hello!

What about adding capitals?

Hi @ibarraespinosa. A function that returns a data.frame with the names and codes of capitals would be a good idea. Is this what you had in mind?

That would be very useful. Em sáb., 22 de mai. de 2021 às 11:05, Rafael H M Pereira < ***@***.***> escreveu:

Hi all. My question is, should the function return the boundaries of the municipalities as MULTIPOLYGON or the the location of municipal seats as POINT ?

[rafapereirabr]

The dev version of geobr in R now has a read_capitals() function.

This function downloads either a spatial sf object with the location of the municipal seats (sede dos municipios) of state capitals, or a data.frame with the names of codes of state capitals.

# Read spatial data with the  municipal seats of state capitals
capitals_sf <- read_capitals(as_sf = TRUE)

# Read simple data.frame of state capitals
capitals_df <- read_capitals(as_sf = FALSE)
