lczexplore: Imports, Visualizes, Compares and Explores Maps of Local Climate Zones

Easily import and visualize local climate zone maps with standard encoding. Compare two or more maps, and group some LCZ types according to user defined grouping vectors. Explore their differences through circular visualization and indicators. For more Details see Gousseff et al (2023) "lczexplore: an R package to explore Local Climate Zone classifications" <doi:10.21105/joss.05445>.
