'ne_download': add 'sv' (SpatVector) to 'returnclass' options #49

Closed AMBarbosa closed 7 months ago

AMBarbosa commented 2 years ago

The 'terra' package is becoming widey used and it replaces not only 'raster' but also 'sp' (and 'rgdal'). So, it would be highly relevant to add the 'SpatVector' class to the ne_download 'returnclass' options, and eventually even have it replace the default 'sp' class when it becomes obsolete. Cheers!

rnaturalearth is now using SpatRaster as implemented in v3.2.0 (#63).

r$> ne_download(scale = 50, type = "MSR_50M", category = "raster")

Maybe add a new option returnclass = "sv" for SpatVec?
