Materials for R-Ladies Abuja geospatial visualization workshop
Slides: https://ramikrispin.github.io/gis-dataviz-workshop/#1
- Introduction to spatial data
- Working with sf objects
- Plot
sfobjects with mapview, tmap, and ggplot2 - Create choropleth maps
In this workshop we will use the following packages:
- GIS data:
- rnaturalearth - provides access for the Natural Earth. The Natural Earth is a public domain map dataset including vector country and other administrative boundaries
- sf - for setting the map object class and plot it
- Tools for plotting maps:
- mapview - A wrapper for the leaflet library
- tmap - A package for creating a thematic maps
- ggplot2 - Is a system for declarative creating graphics
- viridis - A package that provide a series of color maps
- Datasets:
- coronavirus to pull Covid19 data at different levels (e.g., region, country, etc.)
