In ThinkR-open/waffler: Build a spatial waffle from set of point and glify it

waffler

The goal of waffler is to generate the world largest waffles as interactive spatial grid.

See the related SatRdays Paris presentation to understand the origin: https://github.com/statnmap/prez/blob/master/2019-02-22_SatRdays_Paris.pdf

Installation

You can install the released version of waffler from github with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("ThinkR-open/waffler")

Example

Rasters are polygons (waffles too...)

How to render interactive grid quickly?

• Build a heart polygon waffle with {sf}
• Create regular grid from polygon: st_sample
• Generate more or less chocolate
• Create polygon grid with correct crs to avoid deformation on leaflet

# Construct heart (code from @dmarcelinobr)
xhrt <- function(t) 16 * sin(t)^3
yhrt <- function(t) 13 * cos(t) - 5 * cos(2 * t) - 2 * cos(3 * t) - cos(4 * t)

# create heart as polygon
heart_sf <- tibble(t = seq(0, 2 * pi, by = .1)) %>%
  mutate(y = yhrt(t),
         x = xhrt(t)) %>% 
  bind_rows(., head(., 1)) %>% 
  select(x, y) %>% 
  as.matrix() %>% 
  list() %>% st_polygon() %>% 
  st_sfc(crs = 2154)

g1 <- ggplot(heart_sf) +
  geom_sf(fill = "#cb181d") +
  coord_sf(crs = 2154, datum = 2154) +
  ggtitle("Heart sf polygon")

# create grid
heart_grid <- st_sample(heart_sf, size = 500, type = "regular") %>% 
  cbind(as.data.frame(st_coordinates(.))) %>% 
  rename(x = X, y = Y) %>% 
  st_sf() %>% 
  mutate(z = cos(2*x) - cos(x) + sin(y),
         z_text = as.character(round(z)))

g2 <- ggplot(heart_grid) +
  geom_sf(colour = "#cb181d") +
  coord_sf(crs = 2154, datum = 2154) +
  ggtitle("Heart as regular point grid")

g3 <- ggplot(heart_grid) +
  geom_sf(aes(colour = z), size = 2) +
  scale_colour_distiller(palette = "YlOrBr", type = "seq", direction = 1) +
  theme(panel.background = element_rect(fill = "#000000")) +
  coord_sf(crs = 2154, datum = 2154) +
  guides(colour = FALSE) +
  ggtitle("Chocolate quantity for each point")

• Generate a grid polygon from points with wafflerize

heart_polygon <- wafflerize(heart_grid, fact = 1000)

g4 <- ggplot(heart_polygon) +
  geom_sf(aes(fill = z), colour = NA) +
  scale_fill_distiller(palette = "YlOrBr", type = "seq", direction = 1) +
  theme(panel.background = element_rect(fill = "#000000")) +
  coord_sf(crs = 4326, datum = 4326) +
  guides(fill = FALSE) +
  ggtitle("Chocolate quantity in each cell")

cowplot::plot_grid(g1, g2, g3, g4, ncol = 4)

• Quick print with {leafgl} (prev. {leaflet.glify}): addGlPolygons

# Define colors for `addGlPolygons`
cols <- brewer_pal(palette = "YlOrBr", type = "seq")(7)
colours <- gradient_n_pal(cols)(rescale(heart_polygon$z))
colours_rgb <- (t(col2rgb(colours, alpha = FALSE))/255) %>% as.data.frame()

# Render as leaflet
m <- leaflet() %>%
  addGlPolygons(data = heart_polygon,
                color = colours_rgb,
                popup = "z_text",
                opacity = 1) %>%
  setView(lng = mean(st_bbox(heart_polygon)[c(1,3)]),
          lat = mean(st_bbox(heart_polygon)[c(2,4)]), zoom = 10)

# m

High resolution leaflet polygons
