# Plotting maps with `sp`
This document shows example images created with objects
represented by one of the classes for spatial data in
packages sp.
## Loading data and packages
The Meuse data set is loaded using a demo script in package `sp`,
```{r}
library(sp)
demo(meuse, ask = FALSE, echo = FALSE) # loads the meuse data sets
class(meuse)
```
The North Carolina SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) data set
is available from package `sf`, and is loaded by
```{r}
library(sf)
nc <- as(st_read(system.file("gpkg/nc.gpkg", package="sf")), "Spatial")
```
## Using base plot
The basic `plot` command on a `Spatial` object gives just the geometry, without axes:
```{r}
plot(meuse)
```
axes can be added when `axes=TRUE` is given; plot elements can be added incrementally:
```{r}
plot(meuse, pch = 1, cex = sqrt(meuse$zinc)/12, axes = TRUE)
v = c(100,200,400,800,1600)
legend("topleft", legend = v, pch = 1, pt.cex = sqrt(v)/12)
plot(meuse.riv, add = TRUE, col = grey(.9, alpha = .5))
```
For local projection systems, such as in this case
```{r}
proj4string(meuse)
```
the aspect ratio is set to 1, to make sure that one unit north
equals one unit east. Even if the data are in long/lat degrees,
an aspect ratio is chosen such that in the middle of the plot one
unit north approximates one unit east. For small regions, this works
pretty well; also note the degree symbols in the axes tic marks:
```{r, fig.height=8}
crs.longlat = CRS("+init=epsg:4326")
meuse.longlat = spTransform(meuse, crs.longlat)
plot(meuse.longlat, axes = TRUE)
```
which looks different from the plot where one degree north (latitude) equals one
degree east (longitude):
```{r}
par(mar = rep(0,4))
plot(meuse.longlat, asp = 1)
```
## Graticules
Instead of axes with ticks and tick marks, maps often have
graticules, a grid with constant longitude and latitude lines.
`sp` provides several helper functions to add graticules, either
in the local reference system, or in long/lat. Here is an
example of the local reference system:
```{r, fig.height=7.5}
par(mar = c(0, 0, 1, 0))
library(methods) # as
plot(as(meuse, "Spatial"), expandBB = c(.05, 0, 0, 0))
plot(gridlines(meuse), add = TRUE, col = grey(.8))
plot(meuse, add = TRUE)
text(labels(gridlines(meuse)), col = grey(.7))
title("default gridlines with Meuse projected data")
```
```{r}
par(mar = c(0, 0, 1, 0))
grd <- gridlines(meuse.longlat)
grd_x <- spTransform(grd, CRS(proj4string(meuse)))
plot(as(meuse, "Spatial"), expandBB = c(.05, 0, 0, 0))
plot(grd_x, add=TRUE, col = grey(.8))
plot(meuse, add = TRUE)
text(labels(grd_x, crs.longlat), col = grey(.7))
title("longitude latitude gridlines and labels")
```
These lines look pretty straight, because it concerns a small area.

## Other spatial objects in base plot
The following plot shows polygons with county name as labels at
their center point:

plot(nc)
invisible(text(coordinates(nc), labels=as.character(nc$NAME), cex=0.4))
```
This plot of a `SpatialPolygonsDataFrame` uses grey shades:
```{r}
names(nc)
rrt <- nc$SID74/nc$BIR74
brks <- quantile(rrt, seq(0,1,1/7))
cols <- grey((length(brks):2)/length(brks))
dens <- (2:length(brks))*3
par(mar = c(0, 0, 1, 0))
plot(nc, col=cols[findInterval(rrt, brks, all.inside=TRUE)])
```
The following plot shows a `SpatialPolygonsDataFrame`, using line densities
```{r}

dens <- (2:length(brks))*3
par(mar = rep(0,4))
plot(nc, density=dens[findInterval(rrt, brks, all.inside=TRUE)])

## using lattice plot (spplot)
The following plot colours points with a legend in the plotting area and adds scales:
```{r}
spplot(meuse, "zinc", do.log = TRUE,
key.space=list(x = 0.1, y = 0.95, corner = c(0, 1)),
scales=list(draw = TRUE))
```
The following plot has coloured points plot with legend in plotting area and scales;
it has a non-default number of cuts with user-supplied legend entries:
```{r}
spplot(meuse, "zinc", do.log = TRUE,
key.space=list(x=0.2,y=0.9,corner=c(0,1)),
scales=list(draw = TRUE), cuts = 3,
legendEntries = c("low", "intermediate", "high"))
```
The following plot adds a scale bar and north arrow:
```{r}
scale = list("SpatialPolygonsRescale", layout.scale.bar(),
offset = c(178600,332490), scale = 500, fill=c("transparent","black"))
text1 = list("sp.text", c(178600,332590), "0")
text2 = list("sp.text", c(179100,332590), "500 m")
arrow = list("SpatialPolygonsRescale", layout.north.arrow(),
offset = c(178750,332000), scale = 400)
spplot(meuse, "zinc", do.log=T,
key.space=list(x=0.1,y=0.93,corner=c(0,1)),
sp.layout=list(scale,text1,text2,arrow),
main = "Zinc (top soil)")
```
The following plot has north arrow and text outside panels
```{r}
rv = list("sp.polygons", meuse.riv, fill = "lightblue")
scale = list("SpatialPolygonsRescale", layout.scale.bar(),
offset = c(180500,329800), scale = 500, fill=c("transparent","black"), which = 1)
text1 = list("sp.text", c(180500,329900), "0", which = 1)
text2 = list("sp.text", c(181000,329900), "500 m", which = 1)
arrow = list("SpatialPolygonsRescale", layout.north.arrow(),
offset = c(178750,332500), scale = 400)
spplot(meuse["zinc"], do.log = TRUE,
key.space = "bottom",
sp.layout = list(rv, scale, text1, text2),
main = "Zinc (top soil)",
legend = list(right = list(fun = mapLegendGrob(layout.north.arrow()))))
```
The same plot; north arrow now inside panel, with custom panel function instead of sp.layout
```{r}
spplot(meuse, "zinc", panel = function(x, y, ...) {
sp.polygons(meuse.riv, fill = "lightblue")
SpatialPolygonsRescale(layout.scale.bar(), offset = c(179900,329600),
scale = 500, fill=c("transparent","black"))
sp.text(c(179900,329700), "0")
sp.text(c(180400,329700), "500 m")
SpatialPolygonsRescale(layout.north.arrow(),
offset = c(178750,332500), scale = 400)
panel.pointsplot(x, y, ...)
},
do.log = TRUE, cuts = 7,
key.space = list(x = 0.1, y = 0.93, corner = c(0,1)),
main = "Top soil zinc concentration (ppm)")
```
A multi-panel plot, scales + north arrow only in last plot: using
the `which` argument in a layout component (if `which=4` was set
as list component of sp.layout, the river would as well be drawn
only in that (last) panel)
```{r}
rv = list("sp.polygons", meuse.riv, fill = "lightblue")
scale = list("SpatialPolygonsRescale", layout.scale.bar(),
offset = c(180500,329800), scale = 500, fill=c("transparent","black"), which = 4)
text1 = list("sp.text", c(180500,329900), "0", cex = .5, which = 4)
text2 = list("sp.text", c(181000,329900), "500 m", cex = .5, which = 4)
arrow = list("SpatialPolygonsRescale", layout.north.arrow(),
offset = c(181300,329800),
scale = 400, which = 4)
cuts = c(.2,.5,1,2,5,10,20,50,100,200,500,1000,2000)
spplot(meuse, c("cadmium", "copper", "lead", "zinc"), do.log = TRUE,
key.space = "right", as.table = TRUE,
sp.layout=list(rv, scale, text1, text2, arrow), # note that rv is up front!
main = "Heavy metals (top soil), ppm", cex = .7, cuts = cuts)
```
Comparing four kriging varieties in a multi-panel plot with shared scale:
```{r}
rv = list("sp.polygons", meuse.riv, fill = "blue", alpha = 0.1)
pts = list("sp.points", meuse, pch = 3, col = "grey", alpha = .5)
text1 = list("sp.text", c(180500,329900), "0", cex = .5, which = 4)
text2 = list("sp.text", c(181000,329900), "500 m", cex = .5, which = 4)
scale = list("SpatialPolygonsRescale", layout.scale.bar(),
offset = c(180500,329800), scale = 500, fill=c("transparent","black"), which = 4)
library(gstat)
v.ok = variogram(log(zinc)~1, meuse)
ok.model = fit.variogram(v.ok, vgm(1, "Exp", 500, 1))
# plot(v.ok, ok.model, main = "ordinary kriging")
v.uk = variogram(log(zinc)~sqrt(dist), meuse)
uk.model = fit.variogram(v.uk, vgm(1, "Exp", 300, 1))
# plot(v.uk, uk.model, main = "universal kriging")
meuse[["ff"]] = factor(meuse[["ffreq"]])
meuse.grid[["ff"]] = factor(meuse.grid[["ffreq"]])
v.sk = variogram(log(zinc)~ff, meuse)
sk.model = fit.variogram(v.sk, vgm(1, "Exp", 300, 1))
# plot(v.sk, sk.model, main = "stratified kriging")
zn.ok = krige(log(zinc)~1, meuse, meuse.grid, model = ok.model, debug.level = 0)
zn.uk = krige(log(zinc)~sqrt(dist), meuse, meuse.grid, model = uk.model, debug.level = 0)
zn.sk = krige(log(zinc)~ff, meuse, meuse.grid, model = sk.model, debug.level = 0)
zn.id = krige(log(zinc)~1, meuse, meuse.grid, debug.level = 0)
zn = zn.ok
zn[["a"]] = zn.ok[["var1.pred"]]
zn[["b"]] = zn.uk[["var1.pred"]]
zn[["c"]] = zn.sk[["var1.pred"]]
zn[["d"]] = zn.id[["var1.pred"]]
spplot(zn, c("a", "b", "c", "d"),
names.attr = c("ordinary kriging", "universal kriging with dist to river",
"stratified kriging with flood freq", "inverse distance"),
as.table = TRUE, main = "log-zinc interpolation",
sp.layout = list(rv, scale, text1, text2)
)
```
Reuse these results; universal kriging standard errors; grid plot
with point locations and polygon (river):
```{r}
rv = list("sp.polygons", meuse.riv, fill = "blue", alpha = 0.1)
pts = list("sp.points", meuse, pch = 3, col = "grey", alpha = .7)
spplot(zn.uk, "var1.pred",
sp.layout = list(rv, scale, text1, text2, pts),
main = "log(zinc); universal kriging using sqrt(dist to Meuse)")
zn.uk[["se"]] = sqrt(zn.uk[["var1.var"]])
spplot(zn.uk, "se", sp.layout = list(rv, pts),
main = "log(zinc); universal kriging standard errors")
```
```{r}
arrow = list("SpatialPolygonsRescale", layout.north.arrow(),
offset = c(-76,34), scale = 0.5, which = 2)
spplot(nc, c("SID74", "SID79"), names.attr = c("1974","1979"),
colorkey=list(space="bottom"), scales = list(draw = TRUE),
main = "SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) in North Carolina",
sp.layout = list(arrow), as.table = TRUE)
```
```{r}
arrow = list("SpatialPolygonsRescale", layout.north.arrow(),
offset = c(-76,34), scale = 0.5, which = 2)
#scale = list("SpatialPolygonsRescale", layout.scale.bar(),
# offset = c(-77.5,34), scale = 1, fill=c("transparent","black"), which = 2)
#text1 = list("sp.text", c(-77.5,34.15), "0", which = 2)
#text2 = list("sp.text", c(-76.5,34.15), "1 degree", which = 2)
# create a fake lines data set:
## multi-panel plot with coloured lines: North Carolina SIDS
spplot(nc, c("SID74","SID79"), names.attr = c("1974","1979"),
colorkey=list(space="bottom"),
main = "SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) in North Carolina",
sp.layout = arrow, as.table = TRUE)
```
Bubble plots for cadmium and zinc:
```{r}
b1 = bubble(meuse, "cadmium", maxsize = 1.5, main = "cadmium concentrations (ppm)",
key.entries = 2^(-1:4))
b2 = bubble(meuse, "zinc", maxsize = 1.5, main = "zinc concentrations (ppm)",
key.entries = 100 * 2^(0:4))
print(b1, split = c(1,1,2,1), more = TRUE)
print(b2, split = c(2,1,2,1), more = FALSE)
```
Factor variables using `spplot`:
```{r}
# create two dummy factor variables, with equal labels:
set.seed(31)
nc$f = factor(sample(1:5, 100,replace = TRUE),labels=letters[1:5])
nc$g = factor(sample(1:5, 100,replace = TRUE),labels=letters[1:5])
library(RColorBrewer)
## Two (dummy) factor variables shown with qualitative colour ramp; degrees in axes
spplot(nc, c("f","g"), col.regions=brewer.pal(5, "Set3"), scales=list(draw = TRUE))
```
## maps using ggplot2
(it is recommended to migrate to `sf`, and use `geom_sf()` for this)
## Interactive maps: leaflet, mapview
R packages leaflet and mapview provide interactive, browser-based
maps building upon the leaflet javascript library. Example with
points, grid and polygons follow:
```{r, results="markup"}
library(mapview)
mapview(meuse, zcol = c("zinc", "lead"), legend = TRUE)
```
```{r, results="markup"}
mapview(meuse.grid, zcol = c("soil", "dist"), legend = TRUE)
```
```{r, results="markup"}
mapview(nc, zcol = c("SID74", "SID79"), alpha.regions = 1.0, legend = TRUE)
```
Mapview also allows grids of view that are synced
```{r, results="markup",eval=FALSE}
m1 <- mapview(meuse, zcol = "soil", burst = TRUE, legend = TRUE)
m2 <- mapview(meuse, zcol = "lead", legend = TRUE)
m3 <- mapview(meuse, zcol = "landuse", map.types = "Esri.WorldImagery", legend = TRUE)
m4 <- mapview(meuse, zcol = "dist.m", legend = TRUE)
sync(m1, m2, m3, m4) # 4 panels synchronised
# latticeView(m1, m2, m3, m4) # 4 panels
```
