Package 'ggswissmaps'

A list with 8 'ggplot2' objects of swiss territory boundaries, at various levels.

Description

Every element of the list is a 'ggplot2' graphic, corresponding to an element of shp_df.

Usage

maps2

Format

A list with 8 data frames with swiss territory boundaries (at various levels).

Details

Columns are not all the same across data frames, but usually they have the following in common:

• long. Longitude coordinate (x)

• lat. Latitude coordinate (y)

• group. A factor to be used to plot the polygons correctly (with ggplot2)

Prepares the base of a map, starting from a data frame with longitude (long) and latitude (lat) coordinates, as a 'ggplot2' object

Description

Prepares the base of a map, starting from a data frame with longitude (long) and latitude (lat) coordinates, as a 'ggplot2' object

Usage

maps2_(
  data,
  mapping = ggplot2::aes_string(x = "long", y = "lat", group = "group"),
  caption = "Boundaries: BFS GEOSTAT / swisstopo"
)

Arguments

data	data frame with longitude, latitude and group coordinates of a territory (polygons)
mapping	Aesthetic mappings, as character strings (link{ggplot2::aes_string}). Defaults are x = "long", y = "lat" and group = "group" (these work with every element of the list shp_df of ggswissmaps)
caption	text to include in the lower right corner of the map (default: "Boundaries: BFS GEOSTAT / swisstopo")

Examples

data(shp_df)
maps2_(data = shp_df[[1]])

A list with 8 'sf' objects of swiss territory boundaries, at various levels.

Description

Every element of the list is a 'sf' data frame, which can be used with 'ggplot2'.

Format

A list with 8 'sf' data frames with swiss territory boundaries (at various levels).

Details

Every 'sf' data frame has a column "geometry", which is a list-column containing the boundaries of the polygons.

See the vignette (vignette("ggswissmaps_with_sf", package = "ggswissmaps")) for some examples.
