count.SpatVector: Count the observations in each 'SpatVector' group

In tidyterra: 'tidyverse' Methods and 'ggplot2' Helpers for 'terra' Objects

Count the observations in each SpatVector group

Description

count() lets you quickly count the unique values of one or more variables:

• df %>% count(a, b) is roughly equivalent to df %>% group_by(a, b) %>% summarise(n = n()).

• count() is paired with tally(), a lower-level helper that is equivalent to df %>% summarise(n = n()).

Usage

## S3 method for class 'SpatVector'
count(
  x,
  ...,
  wt = NULL,
  sort = FALSE,
  name = NULL,
  .drop = group_by_drop_default(x),
  .dissolve = TRUE
)

## S3 method for class 'SpatVector'
tally(x, wt = NULL, sort = FALSE, name = NULL)

Arguments

x	A SpatVector.
...	<data-masking> Variables to group by.
wt	Not implemented on this method
sort	If TRUE, will show the largest groups at the top.
name	The name of the new column in the output. If omitted, it will default to n. If there's already a column called n, it will use nn. If there's a column called n and nn, it'll use nnn, and so on, adding ns until it gets a new name.
.drop	Handling of factor levels that don't appear in the data, passed on to group_by(). For count(): if FALSE will include counts for empty groups (i.e. for levels of factors that don't exist in the data). For add_count(): deprecated since it can't actually affect the output.
.dissolve	logical. Should borders between aggregated geometries be dissolved?

Value

A SpatVector object with an additional attribute.

terra equivalent

terra::aggregate()

Methods

Implementation of the generic dplyr::count() family functions for SpatVector objects.

tally() will always return a disaggregated geometry while count() can handle this. See also summarise.SpatVector().

Examples

library(terra)
f <- system.file("ex/lux.shp", package = "terra")
p <- vect(f)


p %>% count(NAME_1, sort = TRUE)

p %>% count(NAME_1, sort = TRUE)

p %>% count(pop = ifelse(POP < 20000, "A", "B"))

# tally() is a lower-level function that assumes you've done the grouping
p %>% tally()

p %>%
  group_by(NAME_1) %>%
  tally()

# Dissolve geometries by default

library(ggplot2)
p %>%
  count(NAME_1) %>%
  ggplot() +
  geom_spatvector(aes(fill = n))

# Opt out
p %>%
  count(NAME_1, .dissolve = FALSE, sort = TRUE) %>%
  ggplot() +
  geom_spatvector(aes(fill = n))
