find a good way of storing colours for categorical afrilandcover raster

[andysouth]

I would like the labels and colours for the categorical raster object afrilandcover to be stored in the object so that it is easy for new users to be able to plot them.

The current sub-optimal solution enables this to work in mapview but similar seems not to work in tmap

mapview(afrilandcover, att="landcover", col.regions=levels(afrilandcover)[[1]]$colour)

Here is my unfinished experimentation including trying stars & terra. Ideally I'd like to use stars.

afrilearndata/data-raw/afrilearndata-data-creation.R

Line 456 in d8510ed

afrilandcover <- ratify(afrilandcover)

If anyone has a good solution for this I'd be very grateful.
