How to "addTiles" on top of "addPolygons" in R's Leaflet? - r

How do you set the layer order in R's leaflet package so that tiles show up on top of polygons filled with color?
Here's what I've got so far:
require(leaflet)
require(acs)
require(tigris)
require(rgdal)
census.income.end.year = 2015
county = 17
nd.counties=acs.fetch(geography=geo.make(state="ND", county=county),
table.number="B01003", endyear = 2015)
tracts <- tigris::tracts(state = 'ND', county = county, cb=FALSE, year = 2015)
# create a geographic set to grab tabular data (acs)
geo<-geo.make(state=c("ND"),
county = county,
tract="*")
# add in median income
median.income <- acs.fetch(endyear = census.income.end.year,
geography = geo,
variable = c("B19013_001"))
income_df <- data.frame(paste0(as.character(median.income#geography$state),
str_pad(as.character(median.income#geography$county), 3, 'left', '0'),
str_pad(as.character(median.income#geography$tract), 5, 'left', '0')),
median.income#estimate)
rownames(income_df)<-1:nrow(income_df)
names(income_df)<-c("GEOID", "hhincome")
income_merged <- geo_join(tracts, income_df, "GEOID", "GEOID")
income_merged <- spTransform(income_merged, CRS("+init=epsg:4326"))
qpal <- colorQuantile("plasma", income_df$hhincome, n = 4)
leaflet() %>%
setView( -96.7898, 46.8772, zoom=11) %>%
addPolygons(data = income_merged,
fillColor = qpal(income_merged$hhincome),
fillOpacity = 1,
weight = 0.3) %>%
addProviderTiles(providers$Hydda.RoadsAndLabels)
Ultimately, I'ld like to do this with addTiles (instead of addProviderTiles as in the above code) using a custom MapBox, but I can't figure out how to make that reproducible for this example... given that you need a key to access custom MapBox tiles (BTW, I've created a custom MapBox tile that should be transparent except for roads and labels, so the underlying polygons should "show thru.")
Here is one way to do add a tile on top of a circle with the non-R version of leaflet: http://jsfiddle.net/dcu9pz2w/, but I don't see how to make that work in my context. I think adding "panes" may be the way to go, but I don't see that functionality in R leaflet. Also, I explored z-index values, but that seemed to be a dead end.
Any help is much appreciated!

R leaflet now includes addMapPane function. The solution to this problem is to first set up pane order and then add tiles/polygons. Reproducible example:
library(leaflet)
library(geojsonio)
# get polygon data
# https://github.com/simonepri/geo-maps/blob/master/info/countries-land.md
world <- geojson_read(
"https://github.com/simonepri/geo-maps/releases/download/v0.6.0/countries-land-10km.geo.json",
what = "sp"
)
# generate random values
world#data$value <- runif(nrow(world#data))
# get color palette
color_pal <- colorNumeric(palette = "YlOrRd", domain = NULL)
# get leaflet map
leaflet() %>%
setView(lat = 50, lng = 15, zoom = 4) %>%
addMapPane("background_map", zIndex = 410) %>% # Level 1: bottom
addMapPane("polygons", zIndex = 420) %>% # Level 2: middle
addMapPane("labels", zIndex = 430) %>% # Level 3: top
addProviderTiles(
providers$Esri.WorldTerrain,
options = pathOptions(pane = "background_map")
) %>%
addPolygons(
data = world, stroke = FALSE, smoothFactor = 0.2,
fillOpacity = 0.6, fillColor = ~color_pal(value),
options = pathOptions(pane = "polygons")
) %>%
addProviderTiles(
providers$Stamen.TonerLabels,
options = pathOptions(pane = "labels")
)

Leaflet map with R shows country completely grey

I am starting to become familiar with leaflet in R although I am experiencing some issues. Data works properly when I am plotting the map with ggplot2. However, I was asked to switch to a more dynamic and interactive map for a shiny dashboard. Here I report the code I performed with the image of the 'grey' results I obtained. I am plotting some Italian provincial data. I retrieved the shape file from the website of the Italian Institute of Statistics (2020, versione generalizzata). Nonetheless, I have uploaded the dataframe and the shape file also on GitHub.
library(dplyr)
library(leaflet)
library(rgdal)
library(sf)
# Import data
load('C:/[...]/data_19.rda') # <--- There are several variables, I selected just one of them
# Import Italy shapefile
ita_map = readOGR('C:/[...]/Limiti01012020_g/ProvCM01012020_g',
'ProvCM01012020_g_WGS84', stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
# Merge
colnames(data_19)[1] = "COD_PROV" # <--- This is the numerical provincial code
ita_map_sf = st_as_sf(ita_map)
ita_map_data <- left_join(ita_map_sf, data_19, by = "COD_PROV")
# Generate map with leaflet
ita_map_data %>%
st_transform(crs = 4326) %>%
leaflet() %>%
addProviderTiles("Esri.WorldGrayCanvas") %>%
setView(lat = 41.8719, lng = 12.5674, zoom = 5) %>%
addPolygons(
fillColor = ita_map_data$unilav_ula,
stroke = FALSE,
smoothFactor = 0.2,
fillOpacity = 0.3
)
Here, instead, the result I am getting from the viewer:
I guess there are some problems in the way I dealt with the polygon data frame. I hope someone could give me some hints. Thank you in advance.
See the R leaflet documentation page for plotting Choropleth Maps:
https://rstudio.github.io/leaflet/choropleths.html
You need to specify a color palette you want to use for the map.
The following code produces the output below.
library(dplyr)
library(leaflet)
library(rgdal)
library(sf)
# Import data
load('C:/[...]/data_19.rda') # <--- There are several variables, I selected just one of them
# Import Italy shapefile
ita_map = readOGR('C:/[...]/Limiti01012020_g/ProvCM01012020_g',
'ProvCM01012020_g_WGS84', stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
# Merge
colnames(data_19)[1] = "COD_PROV" # <--- This is the numerical provincial code
ita_map_sf = st_as_sf(ita_map)
ita_map_sf$COD_PROV <- as.numeric(ita_map_sf$COD_PROV)
ita_map_data <- left_join(ita_map_sf, data_19, by = "COD_PROV")
# Specify Color Palette
pal <- colorQuantile("Blues", domain = ita_map_data$unilav_ula, n=5)
# Generate map with leaflet
ita_map_data %>%
st_transform(crs = 4326) %>%
leaflet() %>%
addProviderTiles("Esri.WorldGrayCanvas") %>%
setView(lat = 41.8719, lng = 12.5674, zoom = 5) %>%
addPolygons(
fillColor = ~pal(unilav_ula),
stroke = FALSE,
smoothFactor = 0.2,
fillOpacity = 0.7,
label=~unilav_ula
)

Get longitude and latitude from a shapefile with Leaflet in R

I've been trying to map with leaflet to add addCircles() but my shapefile doesn't seem to have the latitude lat and longitude lng parameters so I got the centroids for each city as is the code below but it doesn't seem to show me the centroid points so I put in a df these values but I can't automate to get the points for n cities.
The data is here.
library(stringr)
library(leaflet)
library(sf)
library(dplyr)
quito = st_read("C:/Users/crist/Downloads/Administraciones Zonales/Administración_Zonal.shp") %>%
st_simplify(dTolerance = 1000) %>%
sf::st_transform('+init=epsg:4326')
sectores = read.csv("C:/Users/crist/Downloads/sector.csv", header = T,sep = ";", dec = ",", row.names = 1)
sectores
full_data = inner_join(quito, sectores, by = 'NOMBRE') %>%
mutate(label_map = sprintf("<strong>%s </strong><br/>Valor: %g<br/>",NOMBRE, TARIFA_PROMEDIO_POR_HAB_DISPONIBLE_...) %>% lapply(htmltools::HTML))
bins = c(0, 10, 50, 100, 150,250)
pal_quito <- colorBin("Oranges", domain = full_data$TARIFA_PROMEDIO_POR_HAB_OCUPADA_...,
bins = bins)
#I tried to do this because my shp didn't have the longitude and latitude variables
full_data$centroids <- st_transform(full_data, 29101) %>%
st_centroid() %>%
st_geometry()
lngt_q = c(-78.41782, -78.67333, -78.4823, -78.60407, -78.36822, -78.50851, -78.56278, -78.3023)
lat_q = c(-0.08668143, -0.2179538, -0.1585809, 0.09029626, -0.4124271, -0.2112893, -0.311081, -0.2025039)
full_data$lngt_q =lngt_q
full_data$lat_q =lat_q
leaflet(data = full_data) %>%
addTiles() %>%
addProviderTiles(providers$CartoDB.Positron) %>%
addPolygons(data = full_data,
color = "#444444",
weight = 1,
smoothFactor = 0.5,
fillOpacity = 0.2,
label = full_data$label_map,
fillColor = pal_quito(full_data$TARIFA_PROMEDIO_POR_HAB_OCUPADA_...),
stroke = T,
highlightOptions = highlightOptions(
weight = 5,
color = "#666666",
fillOpacity = 0.7)) %>%
addCircles(full_data$centroids, lng = lngt_q, lat = lat_q, color = "#045a8d", weight = 1, radius =1500,
fillOpacity = 0.2)
[updated]
There's a way to get the longitude and latitude of my shapefile automatically.
I think you can do this by adding the centroid geometry to your polygon layer with st_centroid.
library(stringr)
library(leaflet)
library(sf)
library(dplyr)
library(mapview) # I believe this is needed to make code above function
quito = st_read("C:/Users/Brian/Downloads/Administraciones Zonales/Administración_Zonal.shp") %>%
st_simplify(dTolerance = 1000) %>%
#logintud y latitud # this produced an error, thin it is intended as comment
sf::st_transform('+init=epsg:4326')
## Adding the centroid of each polygon as a separate geometry column. This will not be active but can be accessed as needed
quito$geom2 = st_centroid(quito)
You will get a warning indicating that the centroids won't be accurate, because you are in a geographic rather than projected coordinate system and st_centroid assumes projected geometry. I would guess this isn't going to cause problems with reasonably small sized polygons at lower or middle latitudes, but you should be aware of the potential for distortion. If you need more accuracy, you could calculate your centroids before you warp into EPSG:4326 (WGS84). If you are going this route, you probably want to create the centroids as separate points, warp them separately and either join or use the separate points as your dataset to add the circles to your map.
At this point you can continue along the script as written until the last line, when you need to specify the geom2 column we created earlier as the data source
addCircles(data = full_data$geom2, fill = TRUE, stroke = TRUE, color = "#000", fillColor = "blue", radius = 800, weight = 1) ## I increased the radius to get it to display
I don't know best practices to share the leaflet here, but static image shown

AddLegend Display Value range instead of percentage when using colorQuantile

I am using R shiny-dashboard to display a weather raster file. I used colorQuantile as the method to display the color. In the legend, it shows the percentage. As you can see in the following image. I want the labels in the legend show the range of the value instead for each bin. I am not sure how to do that.
Here is my server.R
output$weather_map <- renderLeaflet({
rw = weatherband()
if (!is.null(rw)) {
pal_w = colorQuantile('RdYlGn', values(rw), na.color = 'transparent', n = 7)
leaflet() %>%
addTiles() %>%
addRasterImage(rw, colors = pal_w, opacity = 0.5) %>%
addLegend(position = 'topright', pal = pal_w, value = raster::values(rw), opacity = 1)
}
})
Note: rw is the raster image.
Thank you in advance!!
When I need want to adjust the labels in leaflet I fall back to using the arguments colors and labels instead of pal and values. The upside is you can customize the downside is a few more lines of code.
Since I don't have access to rw I'm grabbing my favorite map example:
library(sf)
nc <- st_read(system.file("shape/nc.shp", package="sf"))
Then the leaflet alternative pattern for customizing the legend labels:
library(leaflet)
qpal <- colorQuantile("RdYlBu", nc$AREA, n = 5)
# the extra code building off the existing pal
qpal_colors <- unique(qpal(sort(nc$AREA))) # hex codes
qpal_labs <- quantile(nc$AREA, seq(0, 1, .2)) # depends on n from pal
qpal_labs <- paste(lag(qpal_labs), qpal_labs, sep = " - ")[-1] # first lag is NA
map %>%
addPolygons(stroke = FALSE, smoothFactor = 0.2, fillOpacity = 1,
color = ~qpal(AREA)
) %>%
addLegend(colors = qpal_colors, labels = qpal_labs, opacity = 1)

How to add labels on top of polygons in leaflet

I am working with the leaflet R package. I have a zoning system made of polygons and I'd like to lay their IDs on top of them. Below is an illustration (with another software) of my objective.
Thanks for your suggestions!
Since there is no reproducible data, I decided to use one of my previous posts related to leaflet. There are two things you want to take away from this post: 1) you need to create a data frame containing center points of target regions, 2) you need to use addLabelOnlyMarkers(). You can achieve the first thing using gCentroid(). I added row names of the polygon data set (UK) as character to centers. This is used for labeling. You need to think what labels you use in your own case. Once this data set is ready, you want to use it in addLabelOnlyMarkers().
library(raster)
library(rgeos)
library(leaflet)
# Get UK polygon data
UK <- getData("GADM", country = "GB", level = 2)
# Find a center point for each region
centers <- data.frame(gCentroid(UK, byid = TRUE))
centers$region <- row.names(UK)
### Create dummy data
set.seed(111)
mydf <- data.frame(place = unique(UK$NAME_2),
value = sample.int(n = 1000, size = n_distinct(UK$NAME_2), replace = TRUE))
### Create five colors for fill
mypal <- colorQuantile(palette = "RdYlBu", domain = mydf$value, n = 5, reverse = TRUE)
leaflet() %>%
addProviderTiles("OpenStreetMap.Mapnik") %>%
setView(lat = 55, lng = -3, zoom = 6) %>%
addPolygons(data = UK,
stroke = FALSE, smoothFactor = 0.2, fillOpacity = 0.3,
fillColor = ~mypal(mydf$value),
popup = paste("Region: ", UK$NAME_2, "<br>",
"Value: ", mydf$value, "<br>")) %>%
addLabelOnlyMarkers(data = centers,
lng = ~x, lat = ~y, label = ~region,
labelOptions = labelOptions(noHide = TRUE, direction = 'top', textOnly = TRUE)) %>%
addLegend(position = "bottomright", pal = mypal, values = mydf$value,
title = "UK value",
opacity = 0.3)

Grouped layer control in Leaflet R

There is a plug-in for Leaflet JS that allows to group the layers in the layer control. https://github.com/ismyrnow/Leaflet.groupedlayercontrol
This plug-in does not seem to exist for Leaflet R but I found this post saying that there is a way to use arbitraty Leaflet JS plug-in in Leaflet R.
https://gist.github.com/jcheng5/c084a59717f18e947a17955007dc5f92
I tried to apply this method to the Leaflet.groupedlayercontrol plug-in but did not succeed. Do you have any idea how I can possibly use this plug-in or any other way to group my layers in the layercontrol generated by Leaflet R? Thank you.
You definitely can do layer control in leafletR. If you version does not have it, then you need to update, probably from the most recent GITHUB version.
I am working on a map right now that has layer controls, see the photograph. Here is the code that makes it happen. As you can see each of the addPolygons has a group = " A Name" This is where you identify the layers in the check boxes on my image.
map<-leaflet()%>%
addTiles()%>%
addPolygons(data = plotMerge,
fillColor = ~pal(plotMerge$incomePerCapita),
color = "#000000", #this is an outline color
fillOpacity = 0.8,
group="Tract",
weight = 0.2,
popup=popup)%>%
addPolygons(data = countyPoly,
fillColor = "transparent",
color = "#000000", #this is an outline color
fillOpacity = 0.8,
group="County",
popup=countyPoly#data$NAME,
weight = 2)%>%
addPolygons(data = townPoly,
fillColor = "transparent",
color = "#000000", #this is an outline color
fillOpacity = 0.8,
group="Town",
weight = .8,
popup=townPoly#data$TOWN)%>%
addPolygons(data = rphnPoly,
fillColor = "transparent",
color = "#000000", #this is an outline color
fillOpacity = 0.8,
group="Public Health Region",
weight = .8,
popup=rphnPoly#data$PHN)%>%
addLegend(pal = pal,
values = plotMerge$incomePerCapita,
position = "bottomright",
title = "State-wide Income Percentiles",
labFormat = labelFormat(digits=1))%>%
addLayersControl(
overlayGroups =c("County", "Town", "Public Health Region", "Tract"),
options = layersControlOptions(collapsed=FALSE)
)
saveWidget(map, file="map1.html", selfcontained=FALSE)
Here is what it looks like:
You can also add other controls check it out here:
Leaflet R Hidden Layers
I know this is an old question but I didn't find a good answer elsewhere - this may help others in the future.
Here is a reprex with comments that explains the code:
#load library
library(tidyverse)
library(leaflet)
#load data
data("quakes")
#map all points
# quakes %>%
# leaflet() %>%
# addProviderTiles(providers$CartoDB.Positron) %>%
# addCircleMarkers(lng = ~long, lat = ~lat, radius = 1)
#create a grouping variable -- this can be whatever you want to filter by
quakes <- quakes %>%
mutate(groups = case_when(
stations < 30 ~ 1,
stations < 50 ~ 2,
TRUE ~ 3
))
#function to plot a map with layer selection
map_layers <- function() {
#number of groups
k <- n_distinct(quakes$groups)
#base map
map <- leaflet() %>%
addProviderTiles(providers$CartoDB.Positron)
#loop through all groups and add a layer one at a time
for (i in 1:k) {
map <- map %>%
addCircleMarkers(
data = quakes %>% filter(groups == i), group = as.character(i),
lng = ~long, lat = ~lat, radius = 1
)
}
#create layer control
map %>%
addLayersControl(
overlayGroups = c(1:k),
options = layersControlOptions(collapsed = FALSE)) %>%
hideGroup(as.character(c(2:k))) #hide all groups except the 1st one
}
#plot the map
map_layers()
