16  Mapping With leaflet

16.1 Call Libraries

library(leaflet) # web based maps

library(sf) # simple (spatial) features

library(readr) # import csv

library(dplyr) # data wrangling

library(here) # where am I?

library(pander) # nice tables

# setwd(here()) # set the working directory

16.2 Get Simulated Client Data

clients <- read_csv("./location-data/clients.csv")

pander(head(clients)) # top of client data

83.37	99.69	42.18	-83.64
75.28	92.9	42.21	-83.7

16.3 Only Clients In Ann Arbor Area

clients <- clients %>% 
  filter(latitude <= 42.35 &
           latitude >= 42.2 &
           longitude >= -83.8 &
           longitude <= -83.65)

16.4 Read in Shapefiles

parks <- read_sf("./shapefiles/AA_Parks/AA_Parks.shp")

university <- read_sf("./shapefiles/AA_University/AA_University.shp")

city_boundary <- read_sf("./shapefiles/AA_City_Boundary/AA_City_Boundary.shp")

17 Transform CRS

“Map projections try to portray the surface of the earth or a portion of the earth on a flat piece of paper or computer screen. A coordinate reference system (CRS) then defines, with the help of coordinates, how the two-dimensional, projected map in your GIS is related to real places on the earth. The decision as to which map projection and coordinate reference system to use, depends on the regional extent of the area you want to work in, on the analysis you want to do and often on the availability of data.” From qgis.org

university <- st_transform(university, 4326) # transform CRS

parks <- st_transform(parks, 4326) # transform CRS

city_boundary <- st_transform(city_boundary, 4326) # transform CRS

17.1 Leaflet Map

17.1.1 Color Palette

pal <- colorFactor(c("red", "blue", "orange", "green"), 
                   domain = levels(as.factor(clients$program)))

17.1.2 Map

leaflet(clients) %>%
  setView(lng = mean(clients$longitude), 
          lat = mean(clients$latitude), 
          zoom = 12) %>% 
  # addTiles() %>% # Open StreetMap
  addProviderTiles(providers$CartoDB.Positron) %>%
  addCircleMarkers(~longitude, 
             ~latitude, 
             popup = ~paste("Client ID:", as.character(ID)), 
             label = ~paste("Client ID:", as.character(ID)),
             color = ~pal(program),
             clusterOptions = markerClusterOptions()) %>%
  addLegend("bottomright", 
            pal = pal, 
            values = ~program,
            title = "Program") %>%
  # addPolygons(data = parks, color = "green") %>%
  # addPolygons(data = university, color = "blue") %>%
  addPolygons(data = city_boundary, 
              color = "red",
              fillOpacity = 0.0)
