Reading Predefined GeoRegions

The most basic functionality is to retrieve the information of a GeoRegion. There are several sets of predefined GeoRegions in GeoRegions.jl, listed here.

You can read and retrieve the properties of a GeoRegion using the function GeoRegion() for a given ID, which is a String type.

geo = GeoRegion(ID)

For example, the default GeoRegion spans the whole globe. Its ID is ID = "GLB".

using GeoRegions
geo = GeoRegion("GLB")

The GeoRegion GLB has the following properties:
    Region ID     (ID) : GLB
    Parent ID    (pID) : GLB
    Name        (name) : Globe
    Bounds   (N,S,E,W) : 90.0, -90.0, 360.0, 0.0
    Rotation       (θ) : 0.0
    File Path   (path) : /home/runner/work/GeoRegions.jl/GeoRegions.jl/src/.files/GLB.json
    Centroid (geometry.centroid) : [180.0, -0.0]
    Shape       (geometry.shape) : Vector{Point{2, Float64}}(5)

This is the most basic, and yet the most important, functionality of GeoRegions.jl. For the full API of the function GeoRegion() that talks about more advanced uses, see the section on reading custom GeoRegions
