mapR: Tool for Creating Spacial Heat Map for Marketers

Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

Retrieve a list of boundaries with their spacial coordinates(lat/long and mercator) and a computed haversine distance in miles from the map center. Boundaries are defined in a shapefile dataframe(see method: shape_boundaries) as a list of vertices coordinates. The boundaries spacial coordinates is the center of gravity of its vertices.

1	boundaries_coords.shape(shape_boundaries, map_center = NULL)

`shape_boundaries`	List of vertices coordinates as dataframe. Each boundaries is defined as a set of vertices. The value is given using shape_boundaries method
`map_center`	Spacial coordinates of a map center. The haversine distance in miles is computed if map_center is defined.
