ceylon: An R package for plotting the maps of Sri Lanka

The rapid evolution in the fields of computer science, data science, andartificial intelligence has significantly transformed the utilisation of datafor decision-making. Data visualisation plays a critical role in any work thatinvolves data. Visualising data on maps is frequently encountered in manyfields. Visualising data on maps not only transforms raw data into visuallycomprehensible representations but also converts complex spatial informationinto simple, understandable form. Locating the data files necessary for mapcreation can be a challenging task. Establishing a centralised repository canalleviate the challenging task of finding shape files, allowing users toefficiently discover geographic data. The ceylon R package is designed to makesimple feature data related to Sri Lanka's administrative boundaries and riversand streams accessible for a diverse range of R users. With straightforwardfunctionalities, this package allows users to quickly plot and exploreadministrative boundaries and rivers and streams in Sri Lanka.
