Retrieve HIVE Grid boundaries — retrieve

Returns the built-in HIVE Grid dataset, a custom hierarchical polygon grid (Levels 1-3, 1629 features) maintained by the package author. Unlike the other retrieve_*() functions, this does not call a live web service: the data ships with the package as a static, pre-simplified sf object (see data-raw/hive.R for the reproducible prep pipeline that generated it from the author's source shapefile).

Usage

retrieve_hive(refresh = FALSE)

Arguments

refresh: Logical. Accepted for signature uniformity with the other retrieve_*() functions but unused: HIVE is a static built-in dataset with no live source to re-fetch from. Defaults to FALSE.

Value

An sf object of HIVE Grid polygons (GRID_ID, Level, HIVE_ID columns) in EPSG:4326, with source_url, source_name, and retrieved_at attributes attached for provenance.

Examples

hive <- retrieve_hive()
nrow(hive)
#> [1] 1629
