Example 1: Importing and Plotting Spatial Data (Vector)
R
# Load the sf package library (sf) # Read a shapefile containing polygon data world <- st_read ( system.file ( "shape/nc.shp" , package= "sf" )) # Plot the spatial data plot (world) |
Output:
we load the sf package and read a shapefile containing polygon data representing North Carolina counties. We then plot the spatial data using the plot() function.
