Vignette is divided in three sections: *R-packages for static maps*, *static maps using ggplot2* and *interactive maps*. But we begin with the datasets we want to plot. If you want more detailed explanation of how to plot `sf`-objects take a look at vignette [5. Plotting Simple Features](https://r-spatial.github.io/sf/articles/sf5.html). ## Datasets Lets start with latest municipality division from `get_municipalities()` with is a *POLYGON* data and with *POINT* data of `municipality_central_localities` that is shipped with the package. ```{r municipality_map, fig.width = 5, eval = apiacc} library(geofi) polygon <- get_municipalities(year = 2021, scale = 4500) point <- geofi::municipality_central_localities # municipality code into integer point$municipality_code <- as.integer(point$kuntatunnus) ``` They both come in same CRS `EPSG:3067` and can be plotted together without any further manipulation. ## R-packages for static maps There are two main technologies for creating static graphics in R: base and [ggplot2](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/). Both can be used to plot spatial data ie. to create maps. In addition, [tmap : thematic maps in R](https://r-tmap.github.io/tmap/) is a great tool if you want to dig deeper into cartography in R. **base** ```{r base, fig.width = 5, eval = apiacc_pkginst} library(sf) plot(st_geometry(polygon["municipality_code"])) plot(polygon["municipality_code"], add = TRUE, border="white") plot(st_geometry(point["municipality_code"]), add = TRUE, color = "black") ``` **ggplot2** ```{r gg, fig.width = 5, eval = apiacc_pkginst} library(ggplot2) ggplot() + geom_sf(data = polygon, aes(fill = municipality_code)) + geom_sf(data = point) ``` **tmap** [`tmap`](https://r-tmap.github.io/tmap/) is a versatile library for creating static thematic maps in R. It supports `sf`-class objects and is fully compatible with geospatial data available through `geofi`. As I am only fluent in using `ggplot2` the the more complex examples are using `ggplot2`-package. ## Static maps using ggplot2 `ggplot2`-packages has three `sf`-class spesific functions: `geom_sf` plotting for points, lines and polygons, and `geom_sf_text` and `geom_sf_label` for labeling the maps. In the following examples we are using the Uusimaa region in Southern Finland. ```{r uusimaa, fig.width=8, fig.height=4, eval = apiacc_pkginst} library(dplyr) polygon_uusimaa <- polygon %>% filter(maakunta_name_fi %in% "Uusimaa") point_uusimaa <- point %>% filter(municipality_code %in% polygon_uusimaa$municipality_code) ggplot() + theme_light() + geom_sf(data = polygon_uusimaa, alpha = .3) + geom_sf(data = point_uusimaa) + geom_sf_text(data = point_uusimaa, aes(label = teksti)) ``` ### Label overlapping `geom_sf_label` or `geom_sf_text` cannot control the overlapping of labels which is a common issue when mapping objects of various shapes and sizes. With [`ggrepel`](https://cran.r-project.org/package=ggrepel) you can solve the problem though it requires a bit of spatial data processing with `sf`-package. ```{r uusimaa_repel, fig.width=8, fig.height=4, eval = apiacc_pkginst} ggplot() + theme_light() + geom_sf(data = polygon_uusimaa, alpha = .3) + geom_sf(data = point_uusimaa) + ggrepel::geom_text_repel(data = point_uusimaa %>% sf::st_set_geometry(NULL) %>% bind_cols(point_uusimaa %>% sf::st_centroid() %>% sf::st_coordinates() %>% as_tibble()), aes(label = teksti, x = X, y = Y)) ``` ### Faceting If want to present multiple variables of same regions you can use facets. ### Facetting and combining maps [Facetting](https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/facet_wrap.html) is a useful way to present data on multiple variables covering the same region. This is useful approach if you have, lets say, data on same indicator from two different time points and you want to have separate maps for separate times points, but have a shared scale. Below I create a random data for two year titled `population` and plot the data using `facet_wrap()`-function. ```{r create_popdata, eval = apiacc_pkginst} pop_data <- bind_rows( tibble( municipality_code = polygon$municipality_code ) %>% mutate(population = rnorm(n = nrow(.), mean = 2000, sd = 250), time = 2020), tibble( municipality_code = polygon$municipality_code ) %>% mutate(population = rnorm(n = nrow(.), mean = 2000, sd = 250), time = 2021) ) pop_data ``` ```{r facet, fig.height=7, eval = apiacc_pkginst} pop_map <- right_join(polygon, pop_data) ggplot(pop_map, aes(fill = population)) + geom_sf() + facet_grid(~time) ``` However, often the indicators you want to compare either have different values (shared scale not ideal), are aggregated differently or cover non-overlapping geographic region. The you may find [patchwork](https://patchwork.data-imaginist.com/) useful as in the example below. ```{r patchwork, fig.width = 8, fig.height=10, eval = apiacc_pkginst} library(patchwork) p_municipalities <- ggplot(polygon, aes(fill = municipality_code)) + geom_sf() + theme(legend.position = "top") p_regions <- ggplot(polygon %>% count(maakunta_code), aes(fill = maakunta_code)) + geom_sf() + theme(legend.position = "top") p_uusimaa <- ggplot(polygon_uusimaa, aes(fill = municipality_code)) + geom_sf() + theme(legend.position = "top") (p_municipalities | p_regions) / p_uusimaa + plot_layout(nrow = 2, heights = c(1,0.6)) + plot_annotation(title = "Combining multiple maps into a single (gg)plot") ``` ### Aesthetics Creating informative and aesthetically pleasing maps is always a challenge and there are no recipe for instant success. Colors are important and [colorbrewer2.org](https://colorbrewer2.org/) can help with that. In `ggplot2` you can use colorbrewer-palettes with `scale_fill_brewer`, `scale_fill_distiller`, `scale_fill_fermenter` -functions. You may want to get rid of the grid as well as axis-labels and -titles. ```{r, fig.height = 5, eval = apiacc_pkginst} ggplot(polygon_uusimaa, aes(fill = municipality_code)) + geom_sf(color = alpha("white", 1/3)) + scale_fill_fermenter(palette = "YlGnBu") + theme_minimal() + theme(axis.text = element_blank(), axis.title = element_blank(), panel.grid = element_blank(), legend.position = "top" ) + labs(title = "Municipality code", fill = NULL) ``` ## Interactive maps As for interactive maps [Leaflet](https://rstudio.github.io/leaflet/) is not the only option. For exploring you datasets in almost any CRS you should to try out [mapview](https://r-spatial.github.io/mapview/). As for larger datasets, you are probably safer with [WebGL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebGL) based [mapdeck](https://symbolixau.github.io/mapdeck/articles/mapdeck.html). Again, I am most experienced with leaflet so the following example is using leaflet. Leaflet default projection is `EPSG:3857` or `WGS84`, also known as "Google Mercator" or "Web Mercator, and you have reproject your `geofi` data to plot it using leaflet. ```{r leaflet, out.width="90%", eval = apiacc_pkginst} polygon_wgs84 <- sf::st_transform(x = polygon, crs = "+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84") point_wgs84 <- sf::st_transform(x = point, crs = "+proj=longlat +datum=WGS84") library(leaflet) # lets create a palette for polygon fill (municipality codes) pal <- leaflet::colorNumeric(palette = "Blues", domain = polygon_wgs84$municipality_code) # labels for localities labels <- sprintf( "%s (%s)", point_wgs84$teksti, point_wgs84$kuntatunnus ) %>% lapply(htmltools::HTML) # popup for polygons popup <- sprintf( "%s (%s)", polygon_wgs84$municipality_name_fi, polygon_wgs84$municipality_code ) %>% lapply(htmltools::HTML) EPSG3067 <- leaflet::leafletCRS(crsClass = "L.Proj.CRS", code = "EPSG:3067", proj4def = "+proj=utm +zone=35 +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs", resolutions = 1.5^(25:15)) leaflet(polygon_wgs84, options = leafletOptions(worldCopyJump = F, crs = EPSG3067)) %>% addProviderTiles(provider = providers$CartoDB.Positron) %>% addPolygons(fillColor = ~pal(municipality_code), color = "black", weight = 1, opacity = 1, dashArray = "3", fillOpacity = 0.4, popup = popup, highlight = highlightOptions( weight = 2, color = "#666", dashArray = "", fillOpacity = 0.4, bringToFront = TRUE) ) %>% addMarkers(data = point_wgs84, label = labels, clusterOptions = markerClusterOptions(), labelOptions = labelOptions(opacity = .7, style = list("font-weight" = "normal", padding = "2px 4px"), textsize = "12px", direction = "auto")) ```
