The CRAN version can be loaded as follows:

or the development version from GitHub:

The European geographical aggregates nomenclature, called NUTS (Nomenclature des unités territoriales statistiques)) are the following:

Function argument Aggregates Level
“nuts0” European countries level 0
“nuts1” European divisions for each country level 1
“nuts2” European regions for each country level 2
“nuts3” European municipalities for each country level 3

where level 0 is the largest unit (country), and level 4 the smallest unit. In addition Urban Audit (“urau”) are also provided.

The diagram show the hierarchy used in the EU() to build the object to map. Smaller aggregate/levels have all the information of the bigger aggregates. For example, if we have “nuts2”, we have also all the information until the country level, “nuts0”.

Level may have names expressed in different ways. The package provides:

Names Code
Nuts names nuts
Nuts id code id
iso2 coutry code iso2
iso3 country code iso3

This can be specified in matchWith argument,depending on the ids in the input data.

eu_level0 <- loadCoordEU(unit = "nuts0")
mappingEU(eu_level0)

eu_level0 <- loadCoordEU(unit = "nuts1")
mappingEU(eu_level0)

eu_level0 <- loadCoordEU(unit = "nuts2")
mappingEU(eu_level0)

eu_level0 <- loadCoordEU(unit = "nuts3")
mappingEU(eu_level0)
