Proportional Symbols Layer

Description

Plot a proportional symbols layer.

Usage

propSymbolsLayer(
  x,
  spdf,
  df,
  spdfid = NULL,
  dfid = NULL,
  var,
  inches = 0.3,
  fixmax = NULL,
  symbols = "circle",
  col = "#E84923",
  border = "black",
  lwd = 1,
  legend.pos = "bottomleft",
  legend.title.txt = var,
  legend.title.cex = 0.8,
  legend.values.cex = 0.6,
  legend.values.rnd = 0,
  legend.style = "c",
  legend.frame = FALSE,
  add = TRUE
)

Arguments

x

an sf object, a simple feature collection. If x is used then spdf, df, spdfid and dfid are not.

spdf

a SpatialPointsDataFrame or a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame; if spdf is a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame symbols are plotted on centroids.

df

a data frame that contains the values to plot. If df is missing spdf@data is used instead.

spdfid

identifier field in spdf, default to the first column of the spdf data frame. (optional)

dfid

identifier field in df, default to the first column of df. (optional)

var

name of the numeric field in df to plot.

inches

size of the biggest symbol (radius for circles, width for squares, height for bars) in inches.

fixmax

value of the biggest symbol (see Details).

symbols

type of symbols, one of "circle", "square" or "bar".

col

color of symbols.

border

color of symbols borders.

lwd

width of symbols borders.

legend.pos

position of the legend, one of "topleft", "top", "topright", "right", "bottomright", "bottom", "bottomleft", "left" or a vector of two coordinates in map units (c(x, y)). If legend.pos is "n" then the legend is not plotted.

legend.title.txt

title of the legend.

legend.title.cex

size of the legend title.

legend.values.cex

size of the values in the legend.

legend.values.rnd

number of decimal places of the values displayed in the legend.

legend.style

either "c" or "e". The legend has two display styles, "c" stands for compact and "e" for extended.

legend.frame

boolean; whether to add a frame to the legend (TRUE) or not (FALSE).

add

whether to add the layer to an existing plot (TRUE) or not (FALSE).

Details

Two maps with the same inches and fixmax parameters will be comparable.

Examples

library(sf)
mtq <- st_read(system.file("gpkg/mtq.gpkg", package="cartography"))
plot(st_geometry(mtq))
propSymbolsLayer(x = mtq, var = "POP")

plot(st_geometry(mtq), col = "lightblue4",border = "lightblue3", 
     bg = "lightblue1")
# Population plot on proportional symbols
propSymbolsLayer(x = mtq, var = "POP",
                 symbols = "circle", col =  "white",
                 legend.pos = "right", border = "grey",
                 legend.title.txt = "Total\nPopulation",
                 legend.style = "c")
# Layout plot
layoutLayer(title = "Population Distribution in Martinique, 2015")
