I'm making a map of flood zones that ends up with additional lines I don't want. Here is the code:
tmap_mode("view")
tm_shape(floodplot) +
tm_polygons(
col = "Risk Level",
alpha = 0.9,
palette = colors)
) +
tm_layout(
title = "What is the risk of flooding in Robeson County?",
legend.position = c("right", "top"),
legend.text.size = 12
) +
tm_style(style = "classic")
And here is the map: enter image description here
The horizontal and vertical lines are the census tracts, but I don't want them on this map. The floodplot data has a geometry column as well as a SHAPE_Leng and SHAPE_Area column, which I assume are causing the issue.
I tried using some arguments in tm_lines, but it didn't work. Doesn't actually seem like any of the lines after the polygons layer is changing the map, but I'm fine with that if I can get rid of the census tract lines.
As a temporary solution I set lwd = 0, but that of course removes all the lines. The person who showed me the data said something about dissolving the polygons, but I'm not sure how to do that.
Thank you!
You should try to add and manipulate the function tm_grid() (see documentation) to your map code. It is hard to come with a solution if you don't share the data, but probably adding:
+ tm_grid(alpha = 1)
or:
+ tm_grid(lines = FALSE)
should work.
As for the dissolving: while it is difficult to make 100% certain without having a look at your data I suppose this should be doable via a dplyr::summarise() call; something along the lines of
library(dplyr)
library(sf)
floodplot <- floodplot %>%
group_by(`Risk Level`) %>%
summarise()
You will find the technique explained here: https://www.jla-data.net/eng/merging-geometry-of-sf-objects-in-r/

I'm trying to add some text labels a tmap plot.
library(tmap)
library(raster)
jnk <- getData("GADM",country="IND",level=2)
map_file <- tm_shape(jnk) +
tm_polygons() +
tm_text("NAME_1", remove.overlap = TRUE)
My problem is I'm getting duplicate text when I plot (can't post image since I'm new). I think I might have to group by some sort of geometry and NAME_1 combination but I'm unsure where to go from here.
Any advice would be great!
I am not certain what is your problem (as you were unable to post your image) but consider this code:
library(tmap)
library(raster)
jnk <- getData("GADM",country="IND",level=1)
tm_shape(jnk) + tm_polygons("NAME_1", legend.show = F) +
tm_text("NAME_1", size = 1/2)
I have made some minor changes to your code:
downloaded level 1 detail instead of level 2 detail (districts were too numerous, states are OK)
removed legend from the tm_polygons() call
made the letters of tm_text() smaller (to fit the north-eastern states)
My objective is to portray the locations with varying numbers of traffic conflicts in a road intersection. My data consists of all the conflicts that we observed in a given time period at an intersection coded into a .CSV file with the following fields "time of conflict", "TTC" (means Time to Collision), "Lat", "Lon" and "Conflict Type". I figured the best way to do so would be using the 'ggmap+stat_density2d' function in R. I am using the following code:
df = read.csv(filename, header = TRUE)
int.map = get_map(location = c(mean.long, mean.lat), zoom = 20, maptype = "satellite")
int.map = ggmap(int.map, extent ="device", legend = "right")'''
int.map +stat_density2d(data = new_xdf, aes(x, y, fill = ..levels.., alpha = ..levels..),
geom = "polygon")
int.map + scale_fill_gradientn(guide = "colourbar", colours = rev(brewer.pal(7,"Spectral")),
name = "Conflict Density")
The output is a very nice map Safety Heat Map that correctly portrays the conflict hotspots. My problem is that in the legends it gives the values of "levels" automatically calculated by the 'stat_density2d()' function. I tried searching for a way to display, say, the counts of all conflict points inside each level on the legend bar but to no avail.
I did find the below link that handles a similar question, but the problem with that is that it creates a new data frame (new_xdf) with much more points than in the original data. Thus, the counts determined in that program seems to be of no use to me as I want the exact number of conflict points in my original data to be displayed in the legends bar.
How to find points within contours in R?
Thanks in advance.

I am trying to work with municipality data in Norway, and I'm totally new to QGIS, shapefiles and plotting this in R. I download the municipalities from here:
Administrative enheter kommuner / Administrative units municipalities
Reproducible files are here:
Joanna's github
I have downloaded QGIS, so I can open the GEOJson file there and convert it to a shapefile. I am able to do this, and read the data into R:
library(sf)
test=st_read("C:/municipality_shape.shp")
head(test)
I have on my own given the different municipalities different values/ranks that I call faktor, and I have stored this classification in a dataframe that I call df_new. I wish to merge this "classification" on to my "test" object above, and wish to plot the map with the classification attribute onto the map:
test33=merge(test, df_new[,c("Kommunekode_str","faktor")],
by=c("Kommunekode_str"), all.x=TRUE)
This works, but when I am to plot this with tmap,
library(tmap)
tmap_mode("view")
tm_shape(test33) +
tm_fill(col="faktor", alpha=0.6, n=20, palette=c("wheat3","red3")) +
tm_borders(col="#000000", lwd=0.2)
it throws this error:
Error in object[-omit, , drop = FALSE] : incorrect number of
dimensions
If I just use base plot,
plot(test33)
I get the picture:
You see I get three plots. Does this has something to do with my error above?
I think the main issue here is that the shapes you are trying to plot are too complex so tmap is struggling to load all of this data. ggplot also fails to load the polygons.
You probably don't need so much accuracy in your polygons if you are making a choropleth map so I would suggest first simplifying your polygons. In my experience the best way to do this is using the package rmapshaper:
# keep = 0.02 will keep just 2% of the points in your polygons.
test_33_simple <- rmapshaper::ms_simplify(test33, keep = 0.02)
I can now use your code to produce the following:
tmap_mode("view")
tm_shape(test_33_simple) +
tm_fill(col="faktor", alpha=0.6, n=20, palette=c("wheat3","red3")) +
tm_borders(col="#000000", lwd=0.2)
This produces an interactive map and the colour scheme is not ideal to tell differences between municipalities.
static version
Since you say in the comments that you are not sure if you want an interactive map or a static one, I will give an example with a static map and some example colour schemes.
The below uses the classInt package to set up breaks for your map. A popular break scheme is 'fisher' which uses the fisher-jenks algorithm. Make sure you research the various different options to pick one that suits your scenario:
library(ggplot2)
library(dplyr)
library(sf)
library(classInt)
breaks <- classIntervals(test_33_simple$faktor, n = 6, style = 'fisher')
#label breaks
lab_vec <- vector(length = length(breaks$brks)-1)
rounded_breaks <- round(breaks$brks,2)
lab_vec[1] <- paste0('[', rounded_breaks[1],' - ', rounded_breaks[2],']')
for(i in 2:(length(breaks$brks) - 1)){
lab_vec[i] <- paste0('(',rounded_breaks[i], ' - ', rounded_breaks[i+1], ']')
}
test_33_simple <- test_33_simple %>%
mutate(faktor_class = factor(cut(faktor, breaks$brks, include.lowest = T), labels = lab_vec))
# map
ggplot(test_33_simple) +
geom_sf(aes(fill = faktor_class), size= 0.2) +
scale_fill_viridis_d() +
theme_minimal()
I have a shapefile:
I would like to colour each polygon according to the value it holds. I can do this using the following code:
shapefile$colour =
ifelse(shapefile$Count >= 0 & shapefile$Count <= 40,
"blue",
"red")
However, what I would like to do is to decide on my colour scheme in a data frame and then merge this onto the shapefile:
shapefile = merge(shapefile, dataframe, by = "Polygon", all.x = TRUE)
When I do this, I do not get the colours I have specified, despite them reading correctly when I check shapefile#data.
Could anyone help me understand why this happens and also if there is any way around it? Thank you!
I have a grid and I want to produce a map out of this grid with some map elements (scale, north arrow, etc). I have no problem drawing the grid and the coloring I need, but the additional map elements won't show on the map. I tried putting first=TRUE to the sp.layout argument according to the sp manual, but still no success.
I reproduced the issue with the integrated meuse dataset, so you may just copy&paste that code. I use those package versions: lattice_0.20-33 and sp_1.2-0
library(sp)
library(lattice) # required for trellis.par.set():
trellis.par.set(sp.theme()) # sets color ramp to bpy.colors()
alphaChannelSupported = function() {
!is.na(match(names(dev.cur()), c("pdf")))
}
data(meuse)
coordinates(meuse)=~x+y
data(meuse.riv)
library(gstat, pos = match(paste("package", "sp", sep=":"), search()) + 1)
data(meuse.grid)
coordinates(meuse.grid) = ~x+y
gridded(meuse.grid) = TRUE
v.uk = variogram(log(zinc)~sqrt(dist), meuse)
uk.model = fit.variogram(v.uk, vgm(1, "Exp", 300, 1))
meuse[["ff"]] = factor(meuse[["ffreq"]])
meuse.grid[["ff"]] = factor(meuse.grid[["ffreq"]])
zn.uk = krige(log(zinc)~sqrt(dist), meuse, meuse.grid, model = uk.model)
zn.uk[["se"]] = sqrt(zn.uk[["var1.var"]])
meuse.sr = SpatialPolygons(list(Polygons(list(Polygon(meuse.riv)),"meuse.riv")))
rv = list("sp.polygons", meuse.sr, fill = "lightblue")
sampling = list("sp.points", meuse.riv, color = "black")
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)
library(RColorBrewer)
library(lattice)
trellis.par.set(sp.theme())
precip.pal <- colorRampPalette(brewer.pal(7, name="Blues"))
spplot(zn.uk, "var1.pred",
sp.layout = list(rv, sampling, scale, text1, text2),
main = "log(zinc); universal kriging standard errors",
col.regions=precip.pal,
contour=TRUE,
col='black',
pretty=TRUE,
scales=list(draw = TRUE),
labels=TRUE)
And that's how it looks...all naked:
So my questions:
Where is the scale bar, north arrow, etc hiding? Did I miss something? Every example I could find on the internet looks similar to that. On my own dataset I can see the scale bar and north arrow being drawn at first, but as soon as the grid is rendered, it superimposes the additional map elements (except for the scale text, that is shown on the map - not the bar and north arrow for some reason I don't seem to comprehend).
The error message appearing on the map just shows when I try to add the sampling locations sampling = list("sp.points", meuse.riv, color = "black"). Without this entry, the map shows without error, but also without additional map elements. How can I show the sampling points on the map (e.g. in circles whose size depends on the absolute value of this sampling point)?
This bothered me for many, many hours by now and I can't find any solution to this. In Bivand et al's textbook (2013) "Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R" I could read the following entry:
The order of items in the sp.layout argument matters; in principle objects
are drawn in the order they appear. By default, when the object of spplot has
points or lines, sp.layout items are drawn before the points to allow grids
and polygons drawn as a background. For grids and polygons, sp.layout
items are drawn afterwards (so the item will not be overdrawn by the grid
and/or polygon). For grids, adding a list element first = TRUE ensures that
the item is drawn before the grid is drawn (e.g. when filled polygons are added). Transparency may help when combining layers; it is available for the
PDF device and several other devices.
Function sp.theme returns a lattice theme that can be useful for plots
made by spplot; use trellis.par.set(sp.theme()) after a device is opened
or changed to make this effective.
However, also with this additional information I wasn't able to solve this problem. Glad for any hint!
The elements you miss are being drawn in panel four, which does not exist, so are not being drawn. Try removing the which = 4.
meuse.riv in your example is a matrix, which causes the error message, but should be a SpatialPoints object, so create sampling by:
sampling = list("sp.points", SpatialPoints(meuse.riv), color = "black")
When working from examples, my advice is to choose examples as close as possible to what you need, and only change one thing at a time.
