Load Data Templates

This function facilitates the loading of data templates, which include both station information and measurement data (e.g. calibration, weather, soil, point source data.).

Usage

load_template(template_path, epsg_code = 4326)

Arguments

template_path

Character, the path to the *.xlsx file containing the data template.

epsg_code

(optional) Integer, EPSG code for station coordinates. Default epsg_code = 4326, which stands for WGS 84 coordinate system.

Value

A nested list with dataframes. Nested structure: meteo_lst -> data -> Station ID -> Parameter -> Dataframe (DATE, PARAMETER), meteo_lst -> stations -> Dataframe (ID, Name, Elevation, Source, geometry, Long, Lat).

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
## Three types of templates could be used
# 1) Example of template for weather data
temp_path <- system.file("extdata", "weather_data.xlsx", package = "SWATprepR")
met_lst <- load_template(temp_path, 3035)

## 2) Example of template for calibration data
temp_path <- system.file("extdata", "calibration_data.xlsx", package = "SWATprepR")
cal_data <- load_template(temp_path)

## 3) Example of template for point source:
temp_path <- system.file("extdata", "pnt_data.xlsx", package = "SWATprepR")
pnt_data <- load_template(temp_path)
} # }
