spplot1: spplot1 function

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also

Description

A function to provide spplot-like plotting capability but NOT using trellis graphics. This function also acts as an interface for fast plotting of SpatialPolygonsDataFrame or SpatialPixelsDataFrame objects using leaflet HTML plotting capabilities to get zoomable plots with real-world context: transformation to the correct projection is done automatically.

spplot1(x, what, palette = brewer.pal(5, "Oranges"), breaks = NULL,
  legpos = "topleft", fun = identity, include.lowest = TRUE, bty = "n",
  bg = NULL, printlegend = TRUE, bw = FALSE, useLeaflet = FALSE,

  legendOpacity = 0.5, OSMbg = NULL, leafletLegend = TRUE,
  alpha.f = 0.5, ...)

Arguments

x

a SpatialPolgonsDataFrame or a SpatialPointsDataFrame

what

the name of the variable to plot

palette

the palette, can either be a vector of names of colours, or a vector of colours produced for example by the brewer.pal function.

breaks

optional breaks for the legend, a vector of length 1 + length(palette)

legpos

the position of the legend, options are 'topleft', 'topright', 'bottomleft', 'bottomright'

fun

an optional function of the data to plot, default is the identity function

include.lowest

see ?cut

bty

see ?legend

bg

see ?legend

printlegend

logical: print the legend?

bw

Logical. Plot in black/white/greyscale? Default is to produce a colour plot. Useful for producing plots for journals that do not accept colour plots.

useLeaflet

whether to use leaflet to produce a zoomable map this requires the leaflet package, available by issuing the command "devtools::install_github('rstudio/leaflet')"

urltemplate

template for leaflet map background, default is urlTemplate('Stamen-Toner'), but any valid web address for leaflet templates will work here. See ?urlTemplate.

fillOpacity

see ?addPolygons

legendOpacity

see opacity argument in function addLegend

OSMbg

optional OpenStreetMap background to add to plot, obtain this using the function getBackground

leafletLegend

logical, display the leaflet legend?

alpha.f

point transparency, see ?adjustcolor, default is 0.5

...

other arguments to be passed to plot

Details

See http://leaflet-extras.github.io/leaflet-providers/preview/ for examples of leaflet templates.

Instructions on installing the leaflet R package are available from https://rstudio.github.io/leaflet/

Value

either produces a plot or if useLeaflet is TRUE, returns a leaflet map widget to which further layers can be added
