library(geodk)
plot_denmark()
#> → Getting data on `regioner`. This usually takes 10.24s.
#> Fetching data from the API. This will take some time.
#> Reading data to `st`.
#> Converting map data to `sf` object

region <- plot_regions(region = c("Region Nordjylland", "Region Midtjylland"))
#> → Using cached response.
#> Change this behaviour by setting cache = FALSE

municipality <- plot_municipalities(municipality = c("Aarhus", "Favrskov", "Vejle"))
#> → Getting data on `kommuner`. This usually takes 13.13s.
#> Fetching data from the API. This will take some time.
