orb_geo_points: Point layer positioned by longitude and latitude

In orbis: Interactive and High-Resolution Layered Graphics with Built-in World Maps

Point layer positioned by longitude and latitude

Description

Places points on a map using the active projection. Use inside a plot that also has an orb_map() layer, mapping x to longitude and y to latitude.

Usage

orb_geo_points(
  ...,
  data = NULL,
  size = 4,
  colour = "#F76707",
  alpha = 0.9,
  stroke = 0.8
)

Arguments

...	Aesthetic mappings for this layer only, as channel = column.
data	Optional data frame overriding the plot data.
size	Point radius in pixels when size is not mapped (default 3.2).
colour	Fixed colour used when the colour channel is not mapped.
alpha	Opacity between 0 and 1.
stroke	Outline width in pixels.

Value

An object of class orb_layer.

Examples

cities <- data.frame(long = c(2.35, -74, 151.2), lat = c(48.86, 40.7, -33.87),
                     pop = c(11, 19, 5))
orb(cities, x = long, y = lat, size = pop) +
  orb_map() + orb_points(colour = "#F76707") + orb_coord_map("robinson")
