Read ABARES' "Australian Agricultural and Grazing Industries Survey" (AAGIS) Region Mapping Files

Source: R/read_aagis_regions.R
read_aagis_regions.Rd

Download import the "Australian Agricultural and Grazing Industries Survey" (AAGIS) regions geospatial shapefile.

Usage

read_aagis_regions(x = NULL)

Source

https://www.agriculture.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/aagis_asgs16v1_g5a.shp_.zip

Arguments

x

A file path providing the file with the data to be imported. The file is assumed to be unarchived (i.e., still zipped). This function does not provide any checking whether this function is the proper function for the provided file. Defaults to NULL, assuming that the file will be downloaded in the active R session.

Value

An sf object of the AAGIS regions.

Note

Upon import a few operations are carried out,

  • the geometries are automatically corrected to fix invalid geometries that are present in the original shapefile,

  • column names are set to start with a upper-case letter,

  • the original column named, "name", is set to "AAGIS_region" to align with column names that the data.table::data.table() provided by read_historical_regional_estimates() to allow for easier merging of data for mapping, and,

  • a new column, "State" is added to be used for mapping state estimates with data for mapping state historical estimate values found in the data.table::data.table() from read_historical_state_estimates().
