Map: R6 object (Map) to display Earth Engine (EE) spatial objects
In csaybar/rgee: R Bindings for Calling the 'Earth Engine' API

Description Usage Format Details Value Examples

Create interactive visualizations of spatial EE objects (ee$FeatureCollection, ee$ImageCollection, ee$Geometry, ee$Feature, and ee$Image.) using leaflet in the backend.

Map

An object of class environment with the following functions:

addLayer(eeObject, visParams, name = NULL, shown = TRUE, opacity = 1, legend = FALSE): Adds a given EE object to the map as a layer.
- eeObject: The object to add to the interactive map.
- visParams: List of parameters for visualization. See details.
- name: The name of the layer.
- shown: A flag indicating whether the layer should be on by default.
- opacity: The layer's opacity represented as a number between 0 and 1. Defaults to 1.
- legend: Should a legend be plotted?. Ignore if eeObject is not a single-band ee$Image.
addLayers(eeObject, visParams, name = NULL, shown = TRUE, opacity = 1, legend = FALSE): Adds a given ee$ImageCollection to the map as multiple layers.
- eeObject: The ee$ImageCollection to add to the interactive map.
- visParams: List of parameters for visualization. See details.
- name: The name of layers.
- shown: A flag indicating whether layers should be on by default.
- opacity: The layer's opacity represented as a number between 0 and 1. Defaults to 1.
- nmax: Numeric. The maximum number of images to display. By default 5.
- legend: Should a legend be plotted?. Only the legend of the first image is displayed.
setCenter(lon = 0, lat = 0, zoom = NULL): Centers the map view at the given coordinates with the given zoom level. If no zoom level is provided, it uses 1 by default.
- lon: The longitude of the center, in degrees.
- lat: The latitude of the center, in degrees.
- zoom: The zoom level, from 1 to 24.
setZoom(zoom = NULL): Sets the zoom level of the map.
- zoom: The zoom level, from 1 to 24.
centerObject(eeObject, zoom = NULL, maxError = ee$ErrorMargin(1)): Centers the map view on a given object. If no zoom level is provided, it will be predicted according to the bounds of the Earth Engine object specified.
- eeObject: EE object.
- zoom: The zoom level, from 1 to 24.
- maxError: Max error when input image must be reprojected to an explicitly requested result projection or geodesic state.

Map use the Earth Engine method getMapId to fetch and return an ID dictionary being used to create layers in a leaflet object. Users can specify visualization parameters to Map$addLayer by using the visParams argument. Each Earth Engine spatial object has a specific format. For ee$Image, the parameters available are:

Parameter	Description	Type
bands	Comma-delimited list of three band names to be mapped to RGB	list
min	Value(s) to map to 0	number or list of three numbers, one for each band
max	Value(s) to map to 1	number or list of three numbers, one for each band
gain	Value(s) by which to multiply each pixel value	number or list of three numbers, one for each band
bias	Value(s) to add to each Digital Number (DN) value	number or list of three numbers, one for each band
gamma	Gamma correction factor(s)	number or list of three numbers, one for each band
palette	List of CSS-style color strings (single-band images only)	comma-separated list of hex strings
opacity	The opacity of the layer (0.0 is fully transparent and 1.0 is fully opaque)	number

If you add an ee$Image to Map$addLayer without any additional parameters, by default it assigns the first three bands to red, green, and blue bands, respectively. The default stretch is based on the min-max range. On the other hand, the available parameters for ee$Geometry, ee$Feature, and ee$FeatureCollection are:

color: A hex string in the format RRGGBB specifying the color to use for drawing the features. By default #000000.
pointRadius: The radius of the point markers. By default 3.
strokeWidth: The width of lines and polygon borders. By default 3.

Object of class leaflet, with the following extra parameters: tokens, name, opacity, shown, min, max, palette, and legend. Use the $ method to retrieve the data (e.g. m$rgee$min).
