Bundled circular country flags — race

Returns file paths to circular flag images, ready to hand to the images argument of ggrace(). The package ships one flag per ISO 3166-1 country, plus Kurdistan, mostly drawn from the same artwork gt::fmt_flag() uses. See inst/extdata/flags/SOURCE.txt for the provenance.

Usage

race_flags(country)

Arguments

country: Country names or ISO codes, in any mix.

Value

A character vector of file paths, named by the input.

Details

Lookup tries, in order: the two letter code, the three letter code, the full country name, and finally a unique partial match on the name. Names follow the World Bank style used by 'gt', so a few common spellings do not match: pass the code for those, and use race_flag_codes() to find it.

Examples

race_flags(c("br", "Iran", "Kenya"))
#>                                                               br 
#> "/home/runner/work/_temp/Library/ggextreme/extdata/flags/br.svg" 
#>                                                             Iran 
#> "/home/runner/work/_temp/Library/ggextreme/extdata/flags/ir.svg" 
#>                                                            Kenya 
#> "/home/runner/work/_temp/Library/ggextreme/extdata/flags/ke.svg" 

# "Turkey" and "South Korea" are spelled differently in the table, so pass
# their codes instead.
