arcgis

NOTE: under active development! We’d love to hear from you on how you would like to use locations services R packages. Please start a discussion and we’ll get back to you there!

arcgis is a meta-package that loads ArcGIS location services packages. As of this writing, it includes the packages {arcgislayers}, and {arcgisutils}.

• arcgislayers is the workhorse package that interacts with feature services and image servers
• arcgisutils is a developer oriented package that is used for crafting requests to be used by other location service packages such as arcgislayers

Please refer to arcgislayers package site for examples.
