Draw a polygon, line, extent, or points

Draw on a plot (map) to get a SpatVector or SpatExtent object for later use. After calling the function, start clicking on the map. When you are done, press ESC. You can also preset the maximum number of clicks.

This does to work well on the default RStudio plotting device. To work around that, you can first run dev.new(noRStudioGD = TRUE) which will create a separate window for plotting, then use plot() followed by click() and click on the map .
