This function creates a ggplot2 layer for displaying buffered areas around China's boundaries, including both the mainland boundary and the ten-segment line. Buffers with user-defined distances are generated around each boundary, providing flexibility in projection and appearance.

Usage

geom_buffer_cn(
  mainland_dist = 20000,
  ten_line_dist = NULL,
  crs = "+proj=aeqd +lat_0=35 +lon_0=105 +ellps=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs",
  color = NA,
  fill = "#D2D5EB",
  ...
)

Arguments

mainland_dist

Numeric. The buffer distance (in meters) for the mainland boundary.

ten_line_dist

Numeric. The buffer distance (in meters) for each segment of the ten-segment line. If not specified, it defaults to the same value as mainland_dist.

crs

Character. The coordinate reference system (CRS) for the projection. Defaults to "+proj=aeqd +lat_0=35 +lon_0=105 +ellps=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs". Users can specify other CRS strings to customize the projection (e.g., "+proj=merc" for Mercator).

color

Character. The border color for the buffer area. Default is NA (transparent).

fill

Character. The fill color for the buffer area. Default is "#D2D5EB".

...

Additional parameters passed to geom_sf.

Value

A ggplot2 layer displaying buffered areas around China's boundaries, with customizable buffer distances for the mainland boundary and the ten-segment line, using the specified projection.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Plot buffers with specified distances for mainland and ten-segment line
ggplot() +
  geom_buffer_cn(
    mainland_dist = 10000,
    ten_line_dist = 5000
  ) +
  theme_minimal()
} # }
