create_pointMap: A Point Map Creation Function

In andrewcberkley/EarthTimeR: Tools for formatting data and ingesting it into EarthTime

Description

This function creates a point map from a dataframe. It will output a .bin file in your working directory for you to later push to a specific EarthTime instance.

Usage

create_pointMap(
  dataframe,
  latitude_column,
  longitude_column,
  value_column,
  date_column,
  date_format = "%Y-%m-%d",
  rgb_color_scheme = "[255,0,0]"
)

Arguments

dataframe	Specify the name of the dataframe that you'd like to transform into a point map .bin file.
latitude_column	Specify the column name (in quotes) that contains the latitudinal coordinates.
longitude_column	Specify the column name (in quotes) that contains the longitudinal coordinates.
value_column	Specify the column name (in quotes) that contains the primary value being visualized.
date_column	Specify the column name (in quotes) that contains the date category.
date_format	Specify format of the dates. The full set of format codes supported varies across platforms, because this function draws on Python it will call from the platform's C library's strftime() function, and platform variations are common. The date format codes required are the C standard (1989 version), and these work on all platforms with a standard C implementation. Note that the 1999 version of the C standard added additional format codes. The function defaults to "%Y-%m-%d".
rgb_color_scheme	Specify RGB tuple of float values in a closed interval between 0 and 255. Defaults to "255,0,0" (i.e. - the color red).

Examples

## Not run: 
create_pointMap <-  function(dataframe, latitude_column, longitude_column, value_column, date_column)
