Calculate points at intervals between two coordinates in R - r

I have a series of co-ordinates from which I have sampled data, here is an example of it on a map:
library(ggplot2)
library(ggmap)
library(dismo)
lon <- c(-64.723946, -64.723754, -64.723808, -64.724004)
lat <- c(32.350843, 32.350783, 32.350618, 32.350675)
df <- as.data.frame(cbind(lon,lat))
mapgilbert <- get_map(location = c(lon = mean(df$lon), lat = mean(df$lat)), zoom = 18, maptype = "satellite", scale = 2)
ggmap(mapgilbert) +
geom_point(data = df, aes(x = lon, y = lat, fill = "red", alpha = 0.8), size = 5, shape = 21) +
guides(fill=FALSE, alpha=FALSE, size=FALSE) +
scale_x_continuous(limits = c(-64.725, -64.723), expand = c(0,0)) +
scale_y_continuous(limits = c(32.350, 32.351), expand = c(0,0))
Here is the image this produces:
I want to draw lines between the north and south, and east and west points on the map - to make a sort of plus sign.
BUT I want this line to comprise points rather than just be a line, so I need to calculate the coordinates of the points. The lines are approximately thirty metres and I require a point every metre. I feel like the sp package might allow something like this but I can't figure out how.
Thanks,
Kez

Rearrange your your dataframe; all you really need is seq. Here Hadley-style, but build as manually as you prefer:
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
# group rows by opposite pairs
df2 <- df %>% group_by(group = lon %in% range(lon)) %>%
# summarize lat and lon for each group into a list of a sequence from the first to the second
summarise_each(funs(list(seq(.[1], .[2], length.out = 10)))) %>%
# expand list columns with tidyr::unnest
unnest()
head(df2)
# Source: local data frame [6 x 3]
#
# group lon lat
# (lgl) (dbl) (dbl)
# 1 FALSE -64.72395 32.35084
# 2 FALSE -64.72393 32.35082
# 3 FALSE -64.72392 32.35079
# 4 FALSE -64.72390 32.35077
# 5 FALSE -64.72388 32.35074
# 6 FALSE -64.72387 32.35072
# all I changed here is data = df2
mapgilbert <- get_map(location = c(lon = mean(df$lon), lat = mean(df$lat)), zoom = 18, maptype = "satellite", scale = 2)
ggmap(mapgilbert) +
geom_point(data = df2, aes(x = lon, y = lat, fill = "red", alpha = 0.8), size = 5, shape = 21) +
guides(fill=FALSE, alpha=FALSE, size=FALSE) +
scale_x_continuous(limits = c(-64.725, -64.723), expand = c(0,0)) +
scale_y_continuous(limits = c(32.350, 32.351), expand = c(0,0))

Using gBuffer from rgeos with correct projection

I want to show 15 mile radius circles around points in a map using gBuffer. As far as I can tell I have the points and the map in the same projection, but when I produce the circles on the map, they are too large. Here is my code. The tigerline files for the state and counties can be found at https://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/shapefiles/index.php.
library(tidyverse)
library(rgdal)
library(rgeos)
library(ggplot2)
state <- readOGR('C:\\Users\\Mesonet\\Desktop\\map_folder\\tl_2020_us_state\\tl_2020_us_state.shp')
state <- state[which(state$STATEFP == '46'),]
state <- spTransform(state, CRS("+init=epsg:3857"))
counties <- readOGR('C:\\Users\\Mesonet\\Desktop\\map_folder\\tl_2020_us_county\\tl_2020_us_county.shp')
counties <- counties[which(counties$STATEFP == '46'),]
counties <- spTransform(counties, CRS("+init=epsg:3857"))
sites <- data.frame(Lon = c(-98.1096,-98.27935), Lat = c(43.9029, 43.717258))
coordinates(sites) <- ~Lon + Lat
proj4string(sites) <- CRS("+proj=longlat")
sites <- spTransform(sites, CRS = CRS("+init=epsg:3857"))
# Miles to meters conversion
mile2meter <- function(x){x * 1609.344}
# Buffer creation
site_buffer <- gBuffer(sites, width = mile2meter(15))
png('C:\\Users\\Mesonet\\Desktop\\map_folder\\new_test.png', height = 3000, width = 42*100, res = 100)
ggplot() + geom_path(counties, mapping = aes(x = long, y = lat, group = group), size = 1.75,
alpha = 0.45, col = 'darkgreen') + geom_path(state, mapping = aes(x = long, y = lat, group =
group), size = 0.8) + theme(axis.text = element_blank()) + geom_polygon(site_buffer, mapping
= aes(x = long, y = lat, group = group), fill = '#0000FF', alpha = 1, size = 2)
dev.off()
These two locations are 15.35 miles apart, but the plot shows two circles that overlap each other by a couple miles. I can't figure out why, since from what I can see everything is in the same projection, but I might be wrong. Thank you.

Make grid map from spatial data

I have spatial coordinates in a data frame where each row (Longitude, Latitude) corresponds to the occurrence of an event I am following. I tried to map these data but instead of using points, I want to create a grid with cells of a resolution of 5 nautical miles (~ 0.083333) and count the number of occurrences of the event is each cell and plot it.
This is the code I came to write with the help of some resources. But it doesn't look the way I expected it to be. Can you figure out what's I'm doing wrong? I attached the raw positions and the resulting map I get.
Here is the link to the data.
re_pi = read.csv(file = "~/Desktop/Events.csv")
gridx <- seq(from=-19,to=-10,by=0.083333)
gridy <- seq(from=20,to=29,by=0.083333)
xcell <- unlist(lapply(re_pi$LON,function(x) min(which(gridx>x))))
ycell <- unlist(lapply(re_pi$LAT,function(y) min(which(gridy>y))))
re_pi$cell <- (length(gridx) - 1) * ycell + xcell
rr = re_pi %>%
group_by(cell)%>%
summarise(Lat = mean(LAT),Lon = mean(LON),Freq = length(cell))
my_theme <- theme_bw() + theme(panel.ontop=TRUE, panel.background=element_blank())
my_cols <- scale_color_distiller(palette='Spectral')
my_fill <- scale_fill_distiller(palette='Spectral')
ggplot(rr, aes(y=Lat, x=Lon, fill=Effort)) + geom_tile(width=1.2, height=1.2) +
borders('world', xlim=range(rr$Lon), ylim=range(rr$Lat), colour='black') + my_theme + my_fill +
coord_quickmap(xlim=range(rr$Lon), ylim=range(rr$Lat))
Nice dataset, assume these are fishing vessel VMS data. Here may be one way to achieve your objective, heavily reliant on the tidyverse and by-passing raster and shapes.
library(tidyverse)
library(mapdata) # higher resolution maps
# poor man's gridding function
grade <- function (x, dx) {
if (dx > 1)
warning("Not tested for grids larger than one")
brks <- seq(floor(min(x)), ceiling(max(x)), dx)
ints <- findInterval(x, brks, all.inside = TRUE)
x <- (brks[ints] + brks[ints + 1])/2
return(x)
}
d <-
read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abenmhamed/data/main/Events.csv") %>%
janitor::clean_names() %>%
# make a grid 0.01 x 0.01 longitude / latitude
mutate(lon = grade(lon, 0.01),
lat = grade(lat, 0.01)) %>%
group_by(lon, lat) %>%
count() %>%
# not much happening south of 21 and north of 26
filter(between(lat, 21, 26.25))
d %>%

Here is my attempt using the sf package. First I imported your data and converted it to an sf object. Then, I created another sf object which includes the grids. I used the raster package and the sf package in order to create the grids. Once I had the two sf object, I counted how many data points exist in each grid and added the results as a new column in foo. Finally, I drew a graphic.
library(tidyverse)
library(sf)
library(raster)
library(viridis)
# Import the data and convert it to an sf object
mydata <- read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abenmhamed/data/main/Events.csv") %>%
st_as_sf(coords = c("LON", "LAT"),
crs = 4326, agr = "constant")
# Create an sf object for the grid
gridx <- seq(from = -19,to = -10, by = 0.083333)
gridy <- seq(from = 20,to = 29, by = 0.083333)
foo <- raster(xmn = -19, xmx = -10,
ymn = 20, ymx = 29,
nrows = length(gridx),
ncols = length(gridy)) %>%
rasterToPolygons() %>%
st_as_sf(crs = 4326) %>%
mutate(group = 1:(length(gridx)*length(gridy))) %>%
st_cast("MULTIPOLYGON")
# Now count how many data points exist in each grid
mutate(foo,
count = lengths(st_intersects(x = foo, y = mydata))) -> foo
# Draw a graphic
ggplot() +
geom_sf(data = foo, aes(fill = count)) +
scale_fill_viridis(option = "D") -> g

Create shaded polygons around points with ggplot2

I saw yesterday this beautiful map of McDonalds restaurants in USA. I wanted to replicate it for France (I found some data that can be downloaded here).
I have no problem plotting the dots:
library(readxl)
library(ggplot2)
library(raster)
#open data
mac_do_FR <- read_excel("./mcdo_france.xlsx")
mac_do_FR_df <- as.data.frame(mac_do_FR)
#get a map of France
mapaFR <- getData("GADM", country="France", level=0)
#plot dots on the map
ggplot() +
geom_polygon(data = mapaFR, aes(x = long, y = lat, group = group),
fill = "transparent", size = 0.1, color="black") +
geom_point(data = mac_do_FR_df, aes(x = lon, y = lat),
colour = "orange", size = 1)
I tried several methods (Thiessen polygons, heat maps, buffers), but the results I get are very poor. I can't figure out how the shaded polygons were plotted on the American map. Any pointers?
Here's my result, but it did take some manual data wrangling.
Step 1: Get geospatial data.
library(sp)
# generate a map of France, along with a fortified dataframe version for ease of
# referencing lat / long ranges
mapaFR <- raster::getData("GADM", country="France", level=0)
map.FR <- fortify(mapaFR)
# generate a spatial point version of the same map, defining your own grid size
# (a smaller size yields a higher resolution heatmap in the final product, but will
# take longer to calculate)
grid.size = 0.01
points.FR <- expand.grid(
x = seq(min(map.FR$long), max(map.FR$long), by = grid.size),
y = seq(min(map.FR$lat), max(map.FR$lat), by = grid.size)
)
points.FR <- SpatialPoints(coords = points.FR, proj4string = mapaFR#proj4string)
Step 2: Generate a voronoi diagram based on store locations, & obtain the corresponding polygons as a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object.
library(deldir)
library(dplyr)
voronoi.tiles <- deldir(mac_do_FR_df$lon, mac_do_FR_df$lat,
rw = c(min(map.FR$long), max(map.FR$long),
min(map.FR$lat), max(map.FR$lat)))
voronoi.tiles <- tile.list(voronoi.tiles)
voronoi.center <- lapply(voronoi.tiles,
function(l) data.frame(x.center = l$pt[1],
y.center = l$pt[2],
ptNum = l$ptNum)) %>%
data.table::rbindlist()
voronoi.polygons <- lapply(voronoi.tiles,
function(l) Polygon(coords = matrix(c(l$x, l$y),
ncol = 2),
hole = FALSE) %>%
list() %>%
Polygons(ID = l$ptNum)) %>%
SpatialPolygons(proj4string = mapaFR#proj4string) %>%
SpatialPolygonsDataFrame(data = voronoi.center,
match.ID = "ptNum")
rm(voronoi.tiles, voronoi.center)
Step 3. Check which voronoi polygon each point on the map overlaps with, & calculate its distance to the corresponding nearest store.
which.voronoi <- over(points.FR, voronoi.polygons)
points.FR <- cbind(as.data.frame(points.FR), which.voronoi)
rm(which.voronoi)
points.FR <- points.FR %>%
rowwise() %>%
mutate(dist = geosphere::distm(x = c(x, y), y = c(x.center, y.center))) %>%
ungroup() %>%
mutate(dist = ifelse(is.na(dist), max(dist, na.rm = TRUE), dist)) %>%
mutate(dist = dist / 1000) # convert from m to km for easier reading
Step 4. Plot, adjusting the fill gradient parameters as needed. I felt the result of a square root transformation looks quite good for emphasizing distances close to a store, while a log transformation is rather too exaggerated, but your mileage may vary.
ggplot() +
geom_raster(data = points.FR %>%
mutate(dist = pmin(dist, 100)),
aes(x = x, y = y, fill = dist)) +
# optional. shows outline of France for reference
geom_polygon(data = map.FR,
aes(x = long, y = lat, group = group),
fill = NA, colour = "white") +
# define colour range, mid point, & transformation (if desired) for fill
scale_fill_gradient2(low = "yellow", mid = "red", high = "black",
midpoint = 4, trans = "sqrt") +
labs(x = "longitude",
y = "latitude",
fill = "Distance in km") +
coord_quickmap()

Display all latitude and longitude once in a MAP

I have a dataset like
latitude longitude Class prediction
9.7 21.757 244732 1
12.21 36.736 112206 0
-15.966 126.844 133969 1
Now i am trying to group all '1' at prediction column and take their latitude and longitude, later i want to display the all points on a single map.
Actually the code i wrote its takes each '1' on prediction column and takes lat and long respectively and display one point on map each time. But I want to collect all lat and long where prediction is 1 and display all points on a one map.
library(ggplot2)
library(ggmap) #install.packages("ggmap")
#data set name testData1
for (i in 1:100){
if (testData1$prediction[i]==1) {
lat <- testData1$latitude[i]
lon <- testData1$longitude[i]
df <- as.data.frame(cbind(lon,lat))
# getting the map
mapgilbert <- get_map(location = c(lon = mean(df$lon), lat = mean(df$lat)), zoom = 4,
maptype = "satellite", scale = 2)
# plotting the map with some points on it
ggmap(mapgilbert) +
geom_point(data = df, aes(x = lon, y = lat, fill = "red", alpha = 0.8), size = 5, shape = 21) +
guides(fill=FALSE, alpha=FALSE, size=FALSE)
}
}
I think you're overcomplicating things. You could simply subset df like so:
ggmap(mapgilbert) +
geom_point(data = subset(df, prediction == 1), aes(x = lon, y = lat, fill = "red", alpha = 0.8), size = 5, shape = 21) +
guides(fill = FALSE, alpha = FALSE, size = FALSE)

Plot circle with a certain radius around point on a map in ggplot2

I have a map with the 8 points plotted on it:
library(ggplot2)
library(ggmap)
data = data.frame(
ID = as.numeric(c(1:8)),
longitude = as.numeric(c(-63.27462, -63.26499, -63.25658, -63.2519, -63.2311, -63.2175, -63.23623, -63.25958)),
latitude = as.numeric(c(17.6328, 17.64614, 17.64755, 17.64632, 17.64888, 17.63113, 17.61252, 17.62463))
)
island = get_map(location = c(lon = -63.247593, lat = 17.631598), zoom = 13, maptype = "satellite")
islandMap = ggmap(island, extent = "panel", legend = "bottomright")
RL = geom_point(aes(x = longitude, y = latitude), data = data, color = "#ff0000")
islandMap + RL + scale_x_continuous(limits = c(-63.280, -63.21), expand = c(0, 0)) + scale_y_continuous(limits = c(17.605, 17.66), expand = c(0, 0))
Now I want to plot a circle around each of the 8 plotted locations. The circle has to have a radius of 450 meters.
This is what I mean, but then using ggplot: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/119736/ggmap-create-circle-symbol-where-radius-represents-distance-miles-or-km
How can I achieve this?
If you only work on a small area of the earth, here is a approximation. Each degree of the latitude represents 40075 / 360 kilometers. Each degrees of longitude represents (40075 / 360) * cos(latitude) kilomemters. With this, we can calculate approximately a data frame including all points on circles, knowing the circle centers and radius.
library(ggplot2)
library(ggmap)
data = data.frame(
ID = as.numeric(c(1:8)),
longitude = as.numeric(c(-63.27462, -63.26499, -63.25658, -63.2519, -63.2311, -63.2175, -63.23623, -63.25958)),
latitude = as.numeric(c(17.6328, 17.64614, 17.64755, 17.64632, 17.64888, 17.63113, 17.61252, 17.62463))

########### add circles
geom_polygon(data = myCircles, aes(lon, lat, group = ID), color = "red", alpha = 0)
Well, as the referred posting already suggests - switch to a projection that is based in meters, and then back:
library(rgeos)
library(sp)
d <- SpatialPointsDataFrame(coords = data[, -1],
data = data,
proj4string = CRS("+init=epsg:4326"))
d_mrc <- spTransform(d, CRS("+proj=merc +a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 +units=m +nadgrids=#null +no_defs"))
Now, the width can be specified in meters:
d_mrc_bff_mrc <- gBuffer(d_mrc, byid = TRUE, width = 450)
Transform it back and add it to the plot using geom_path:
d_mrc_bff <- spTransform(d_mrc_bff_mrc, CRS("+init=epsg:4326"))
d_mrc_bff_fort <- fortify(d_mrc_bff)
islandMap +
RL +
geom_path(data=d_mrc_bff_fort, aes(long, lat, group=group), color="red") +
scale_x_continuous(limits = c(-63.280, -63.21), expand = c(0, 0)) +
scale_y_continuous(limits = c(17.605, 17.66), expand = c(0, 0))
Calculating distance in km given latitude and longitude isn't super straightforward; 1 degree lat/long is a greater distance at the equator than at the poles, for example. If you want an easy workaround that you can eyeball for accuracy, you might try:
islandMap + RL +
scale_x_continuous(limits = c(-63.280, -63.21), expand = c(0, 0)) +
scale_y_continuous(limits = c(17.605, 17.66), expand = c(0, 0)) +
geom_point(aes(x = longitude, y = latitude), data = data, size = 20, shape = 1, color = "#ff0000")
You'll need to adjust the size paramter in the 2nd geom_point to get closer to what you want. I hope that helps!
An accurate solution is using the geosphere::destPoint() function. This works without switching projections.
Define function to determine 360 points with a certain radius around one point:
library(dplyr)
library(geosphere)
fn_circle <- function(id1, lon1, lat1, radius){
data.frame(ID = id1, degree = 1:360) %>%
rowwise() %>%
mutate(lon = destPoint(c(lon1, lat1), degree, radius)[1]) %>%
mutate(lat = destPoint(c(lon1, lat1), degree, radius)[2])
}
Apply function to each row of data and convert to data.frame:
circle <- apply(data, 1, function(x) fn_circle(x[1], x[2], x[3], 450))
circle <- do.call(rbind, circle)
Then the map can be easily obtained by:
islandMap +
RL +
scale_x_continuous(limits = c(-63.280, -63.21), expand = c(0, 0)) +
scale_y_continuous(limits = c(17.605, 17.66), expand = c(0, 0)) +
geom_polygon(data = circle, aes(lon, lat, group = ID), color = "red", alpha = 0)
A solution using st_buffer() from the sf package.
library(ggmap)
library(ggplot2)
library(sf)
data <- data.frame(
ID = 1:8,
longitude = c(-63.27462, -63.26499, -63.25658, -63.2519,
-63.2311, -63.2175, -63.23623, -63.25958),
latitude = c(17.6328, 17.64614, 17.64755, 17.64632,
17.64888, 17.63113, 17.61252, 17.62463)
)
Convert data.frame to sf object:
points_sf <- sf::st_as_sf(data, coords = c("longitude", "latitude"), crs = 4326)
For this example we use UTM zone 20, which contains the coordinates of the island:
data_sf_utm <- sf::st_transform(points_sf, "+proj=utm +zone=20")
Now we can buffer the point by 450 meters:
circle <- sf::st_buffer(data_sf_utm, dist = 450)
ggmap seems to have some issues with geom_sf. Setting inherit.aes to FALSE returns the desired map.
island <- ggmap::get_map(location = c(lon = -63.247593, lat = 17.631598), zoom = 14, maptype = "satellite")
ggmap(island, extent = "panel", legend = "bottomright") +
geom_sf(data = points_sf, color = "red", inherit.aes = FALSE) +
geom_sf(data = circle, color = "red", alpha = 0, inherit.aes = FALSE)
