Map data onto a Geoscale — geo

Draws a choropleth of data at level. Requires sf, ggplot2, and geometry attached with geo_attach_geometry().

Usage

geo_plot(
  x,
  data = NULL,
  level = NULL,
  fill = NULL,
  palette = NULL,
  title = NULL,
  subtitle = NULL,
  fill_label = fill,
  label = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x: A Geoscale with geometry attached.
data: Optional data.frame with a code column named level and the column named by fill. When NULL, region outlines are drawn.
level: Level to draw. Defaults to the atom level.
fill: Name of the value column in data to colour by.
palette: Viridis palette option ("A".."H") for the fill scale. NULL (default) leaves ggplot2's own scale in place.
title, subtitle: Plot titles. NULL for none.
fill_label: Legend title. Defaults to fill; pass NULL to drop it.
label: Draw region labels. TRUE uses the display names declared by the geoscale's @meta$labels column when there is one, otherwise the region codes.
...: Passed to ggplot2::geom_sf().

Value

A ggplot object.

Details

This is the package's single choropleth renderer: callers that know what their numbers mean (which variable, extensive or intensive, what units) should prepare a data.frame and hand it here rather than draw their own geom_sf(). energyRt::geo_map() works exactly that way.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
geo_plot(gs, capacity_by_state, level = "state", fill = "capacity")

# titled, viridis, with region names drawn on
geo_plot(gs, gen, level = "zone", fill = "value",
         palette = "D", title = "Generation", label = TRUE)
} # }
