The goal of mapindiatools is to serve as a container package for the maps data used in mapindia package. This data has been separated to keep the size of the mapindia package manageable and facilitate easier maintenance, while enabling more frequent updates to the Indian map data frame without relying on mapindia package updates.

The geojson files are stored in the . The data was read using the sf package, appropriately modified using the build_mapping_data() function, and saved as .gpkg files in mapindiatoolsdata repository. The centroids were also calculated using the compute_centroids() function. These files were then stored as internal data in R/ folder.

Note: The 3-digit code11 codes for districts were merged with the 2-digit state codes to create a 5-digit code for the districts.
