This function lets you draw an extent on an interactive map. It is a simple wrapper around mapedit::drawFeatures() written by Tim Appelhans et al.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
library(basemaps)
# draw extent interactively
ext <- draw_ext()
# set defaults for the basemap
set_defaults(ext = ext, map_service = "osm", map_type = "terrain_bg")
# for mapbox maps, you need a map_token. Register for free at mapbox.com to get a token
# load and return basemap map as raster (default)
map <- basemap()
} # }
