The goodmap function is designed to create interactive PNG Map or GIF Map from a provided data file. It supports two types of maps: point and polygon. The function can visualize data by either plotting points based on geographical coordinates or highlighting regions polygon based on their administrative boundaries (province or city level). Additionally, the function can generate animated that showcase the change of data.

Description

If the map type is point, the color and size of the points will be determined by the value_set column in the data file, which means the different value of each point. If the map type is polygon, the color of the polygons will be determined by the average value of the value_set column for each city or province in the data file.

Usage

goodmap(
  data_file,
  type = "point",
  level = NULL,
  animate = FALSE,
  animate_var = NULL,
  map_center = c(35.8617, 104.1954),
  zoom_level = 4,
  color_type = "numeric",
  custom_colors = NULL,
  point_radius = 5,
  legend_opacity = 0.7,
  legend_name = NULL,
  width = 800,
  height = 900
)

Arguments

data_file

Dataframe. When generate point map, data_file should include required columns such as g_lat and g_lon. When generate polygon map, data_file should include required columns such as prov or city. The prov columns must be complete, official names rather than any shortened form or abbreviation. If there is only incomplete names or geocodes in your data_file, we recommend you to use function regioncode as a one-step solution to these conversion from incomplete names. Ensure the file is formatted correctly with appropriate column headers.

type

A string specifying the type of map to generate. Options are pointfor point maps using g_lat and g_lon, or polygon for maps with administrative boundaries.

level

A string specifying the level of administrative boundaries for polygon maps. Acceptable values are province or city. This parameter is required if type is polygon.

animate

A logical value indicating whether to generate an animation from the maps. The default is FALSE. If animate is FALSE, the whole data will be generated as a PNG file. If animate is TRUE, an animation will be generated from all panel data, the animate_var must be assigned.

animate_var

A string specifying the variable to animate over. The default is NULL, the whole data will be generated as a PNG file. If an animation is needed, data_file should include required the animate_set column. animate_set includes a series of unique values that represents year or month, or other categorical variable. The frame number of the animation depends on the animate_set.

map_center

A numeric vector of length 2 specifying the latitude and longitude for the center of the map view. Default is c(35.8617, 104.1954), which is approximately the center of China.

zoom_level

A numeric value specifying the zoom level for the map. Default is 3.

color_type

If the data is discrete, such as types or categories, choose factor. If the data is continuous, such as temperature or pressure, choose numeric. Default is numeric.

custom_colors

A vector of colors for customizing the color gradient. Default is NULL, which uses the predefined color palette.

point_radius

A numeric value specifying the radius for point markers on point maps. Default is 5.

legend_opacity

A numeric value specifying the opacity of the legend. Default is 0.7.

legend_name

The name of the legend. Default is Value.

width

A numeric value specifying the width of the map images. Default is 800.

height

A numeric value specifying the height of the map images. Default is 900.

Value

Image in the viewer.
