Loading polygons • hpa.spatial

library(hpa.spatial)
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)

get_polygon() works very similarly to ?strayr::read_absmap() and it has access to all the same shape files but also has access to additional data from {hpa.spatial.data}.

quick_plot <- function(poly) {
  ggplot() +
    geom_sf(data = poly) +
    theme_bw()
}

get_polygon("sa22016") |> quick_plot()

get_polygon("LHN") |> quick_plot()
#> The data for the Local Hospital Networks (LHN) are from here: <https://hub.arcgis.com/datasets/ACSQHC::local-hospital-networks/explore>

get_polygon("PHN") |> quick_plot()
#> The data for The Primary Health Network (PHN) are from here: <https://data.gov.au/dataset/ds-dga-ef2d28a4-1ed5-47d0-8e3a-46e25bc4f66b/details?q=primary%20health%20network>

It includes an argument, simplify_keep, which allows the user to simplify shape files (which is helpful when being used in interactive maps to reduce load time).

sa2_2016 <- get_polygon(area = "sa2", year = 2016)
#> Reading sa22016 file found in /tmp/Rtmpd1KR5A
sa2_2016_simple <- get_polygon(area = "sa2", year = 2016, simplify_keep = 0.1)
#> Reading sa22016 file found in /tmp/Rtmpd1KR5A
