Map layer: edges of a (sf)network

Description

Map layer that draws the edges of a (sf)network.

Usage

tm_edges(
  col = tmap::tm_const(),
  col.scale = tmap::tm_scale(),
  col.legend = tmap::tm_legend(),
  col.free = NA,
  lwd = tmap::tm_const(),
  lwd.scale = tmap::tm_scale(),
  lwd.legend = tmap::tm_legend(),
  lwd.free = NA,
  lty = tmap::tm_const(),
  lty.scale = tmap::tm_scale(),
  lty.legend = tmap::tm_legend(),
  lty.free = NA,
  col_alpha = tmap::tm_const(),
  col_alpha.scale = tmap::tm_scale(),
  col_alpha.legend = tmap::tm_legend(),
  col_alpha.free = NA,
  from = 0,
  to = 1,
  linejoin = "round",
  lineend = "round",
  plot.order = tmap::tm_plot_order("lwd", reverse = TRUE, na.order = "bottom"),
  zindex = NA,
  group = NA,
  group.control = "check",
  popup = tmap::tm_popup(),
  popup.vars = NA,
  popup.format = list(),
  hover = NA,
  id = "",
  options = opt_tm_edges(),
  ...
)

opt_tm_edges(lines.only = "yes", offset_start = 0, offset_end = 0)

Arguments

col, col.scale, col.legend, col.free

Visual variable that determines the col color. See details.

lwd, lwd.scale, lwd.legend, lwd.free

Visual variable that determines the line width. See details.

lty, lty.scale, lty.legend, lty.free

Visual variable that determines the line type. See details.

col_alpha, col_alpha.scale, col_alpha.legend, col_alpha.free

Visual variable that determines the border color alpha transparency. See details.

from, to

Numbers between 0 and 1 (where to >= from) that indicate which part of each edge is drawn. By default full lines, so from and to are respectively 0 and 1.

linejoin, lineend

line join and line end. See gpar for details.

plot.order

Specification in which order the spatial features are drawn. See tmap::tm_plot_order for details.

zindex

Map layers are drawn on top of each other. The zindex numbers (one for each map layer) determines the stacking order. By default the map layers are drawn in the order they are called.

group

Name of the group to which this layer belongs. This is only relevant in view mode, where layer groups can be switched (see group.control)

group.control

In view mode, the group control determines how layer groups can be switched on and off. Options: "radio" for radio buttons (meaning only one group can be shown), "check" for check boxes (so multiple groups can be shown), and "none" for no control (the group cannot be (de)selected).

popup

popup specification for "view" mode, the output of tmap::tm_popup(). It determines the data variables shown in the popup table, the popup title, and the popup layout. This replaces the deprecated arguments popup.vars and popup.format.

popup.vars

(Deprecated.) Use popup with tmap::tm_popup() instead (via its vars argument). Names of data variables that are shown in the popups in "view" mode. Set popup.vars to TRUE to show all variables in the shape object. Set popup.vars to FALSE to disable popups. Set popup.vars to a character vector of variable names to show those variables in the popups. The default (NA) depends on whether visual variables (e.g. col) are used. If so, only those are shown. If not, all variables in the shape object are shown.

popup.format

(Deprecated.) Use popup with tmap::tm_popup() instead (via its format argument). List of formatting options for the popup values. See the argument legend.format for options. Only applicable for numeric data variables. If one list of formatting options is provided, it is applied to all numeric variables of popup.vars. Also, a (named) list of lists can be provided. In that case, each list of formatting options is applied to the named variable.

hover

name of the data variable that specifies the hover labels (view mode only). Set to FALSE to disable hover labels. By default FALSE, unless id is specified. In that case, it is set to id,

id

name of the data variable that specifies the indices of the spatial features. Only used for "view" mode.

options

options passed on to the corresponding ⁠opt_<layer_function>⁠ function

...

passed on to tmap::tm_lines().

lines.only

should only line geometries of the shape object (defined in tmap::tm_shape()) be plotted, or also other geometry types (like polygons)? By default "ifany", which means TRUE in case a geometry collection is specified.

offset_start, offset_end

Offset in coordinates (usually meters) of the start and end points.

Value

a tmap::tmap-element, supposed to be stacked after tmap::tm_shape() using the + operator. The ⁠opt_<layer_function>⁠ function returns a list that should be passed on to the options argument.

Examples

library(tmap)
library(sfnetworks)

sfn = as_sfnetwork(roxel)

tm_shape(sfn) +
	tm_network()
	
tm_shape(sfn) +
	tm_edges(col = "type", lwd = 4) +
	tm_nodes()


tm_shape(sfn) +
	tm_edges(col = "type", lwd = 4, from = 0.3, to = 0.4) +
	tm_nodes()

Map layer: (sf)network

Description

Map layer that draws a network. For more (total) flexibility, please use tm_edges and tm_nodes.

Usage

tm_network()

Value

Examples

library(tmap)
library(sfnetworks)

sfn = as_sfnetwork(roxel)

tm_shape(sfn) +
	tm_network()

	tm_nodes()


tm_shape(sfn) +
	tm_edges(col = "type", lwd = 4, from = 0.3, to = 0.4) +
	tm_nodes()

Map layer: nodes of a (sf)network

Description

Map layer that draws the nodes of a (sf)network.

  on_surface = FALSE,
  clustering = FALSE,
  icon.scale = 3,
  just = NA,
  grob.dim = c(width = 48, height = 48, render.width = 256, render.height = 256)
)

Arguments

size, size.scale, size.legend, size.free

Visual variable that determines the size. See details.

fill, fill.scale, fill.legend, fill.free

Visual variable that determines the fill color. See details.

col, col.scale, col.legend, col.free

Visual variable that determines the col color. See details.

shape, shape.scale, shape.legend, shape.free

Visual variable that determines the shape. See details.

lwd, lwd.scale, lwd.legend, lwd.free

Visual variable that determines the line width. See details.

lty, lty.scale, lty.legend, lty.free

Visual variable that determines the line type. See details.

fill_alpha, fill_alpha.scale, fill_alpha.legend, fill_alpha.free

Visual variable that determines the fill color alpha transparency See details.

col_alpha, col_alpha.scale, col_alpha.legend, col_alpha.free

Visual variable that determines the border color alpha transparency. See details.

plot.order

Specification in which order the spatial features are drawn. See tmap::tm_plot_order for details.

zindex

Map layers are drawn on top of each other. The zindex numbers (one for each map layer) determines the stacking order. By default the map layers are drawn in the order they are called.

group

Name of the group to which this layer belongs. This is only relevant in view mode, where layer groups can be switched (see group.control)

group.control

popup

popup.vars

popup.format

hover

name of the data variable that specifies the hover labels (view mode only). Set to FALSE to disable hover labels. By default FALSE, unless id is specified. In that case, it is set to id,

id

name of the data variable that specifies the indices of the spatial features. Only used for "view" mode.

options

options passed on to the corresponding ⁠opt_<layer_function>⁠ function

...

passed on to tmap::tm_symbols().

points_only

should only point geometries of the shape object (defined in tmap::tm_shape()) be plotted? By default "ifany", which means TRUE in case a geometry collection is specified.

point_per

specification of how spatial points are mapped when the geometry is a multi line or a multi polygon. One of "feature", "segment" or "largest". The first generates a spatial point for every feature, the second for every segment (i.e. subfeature), the third only for the largest segment (subfeature). Note that the last two options can be significant slower.

on_surface

In case of polygons, centroids are computed. Should the points be on the surface? If TRUE, which is slower than the default FALSE, centroids outside the surface are replaced with points computed with sf::st_point_on_surface().

clustering

in interactive modes (e.g. "view" mode), should clustering be applied at lower zoom levels? Either FALSE (default), TRUE, or a mode specific specification, e.g. for "view" mode markerClusterOptions.

icon.scale

scaling number that determines how large the icons (or grobs) are in plot mode in comparison to proportional symbols (such as bubbles). For view mode, use the argument grob.dim

just

not used (yet)

grob.dim

vector of four values that determine how grob objects (see details) are shown in view mode. The first and second value are the width and height of the displayed icon. The third and fourth value are the width and height of the rendered png image that is used for the icon. Generally, the third and fourth value should be large enough to render a ggplot2 graphic successfully. Only needed for the view mode.

Value

Examples

	tm_nodes()


tm_shape(sfn) +
	tm_edges(col = "type", lwd = 4, from = 0.3, to = 0.4) +
	tm_nodes()
