# place

[![R-CMD-check](https://github.com/mdsumner/place/workflows/R-CMD-check/badge.svg)](https://github.com/mdsumner/place/actions)

[![CRAN status](https://www.r-pkg.org/badges/version/place)](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=place)

[![Lifecycle: experimental](https://img.shields.io/badge/lifecycle-experimental-orange.svg)](https://lifecycle.r-lib.org/articles/stages.html#experimental)

The goal of place is to specify a region simply as point (longitude,latitude) and a region around that. 

This package does absolutely nothing with this information, but other packages might (get where I'm going ...?). 

Data at [virtualearth](http://a0.ortho.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/). 

## Installation

You can install  the development version from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with:

``` r

# install.packages("remotes")

remotes::install_github("mdsumner/place")

```

## Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

```{r example}

library(place)

## get me outta here

where()

```

Ok, get me somewhere specific. 

```{r somewhere}

where(156, 34, wh = 100000)  ## 100km either side of that location

```

More useful, give me a defined discretized region around a location. 

```{r somewhere-else}

where(147, -42, wh = c(1, 1) * 5000)

place("1 George St, Bathurst NSW", wh = c(1, 1.6) * 15000, dimension = 1024)

```
