mapview

Interactive viewing of spatial data in R

mapview provides functions to very quickly and conveniently create
interactive visualisations of spatial data. It’s main goal is to fill
the gap of quick (not presentation grade) interactive plotting to
examine and visually investigate both aspects of spatial data, the
geometries and their attributes. It can also be considered a data-driven
API for the leaflet
package as it will automatically render correct map types, depending on
the type of the data (points, lines, polygons, raster). In addition, it
makes use of some advanced rendering functionality that will enable
viewing of much larger data than is possible with leaflet.
Furthermore, if you’re a fan of
mapdeck (which you
should!), you can choose to use it as the rendering platform instead of
leaflet by setting mapviewOptions(platform = "mapdeck").

The main user relevant functions are:

• mapview - view (multiple) spatial objects on a set of background
  maps
• viewExtent - view extent / bounding box of spatial objects
• viewRGB - view RGB true- or false-color images of raster objects
• mapshot - easily save maps (including leaflet maps) as html and/or
  png (or other image formats)

Functions that have been deprecated/deleted recently:

• addHomeButton - deprecated, use package
  leafem instead.
• addLogo - deprecated, use package
  leafem instead.
• addFeatures - deprecated, use package
  leafem instead.
• addMouseCoordinates - deprecated, use package
  leafem instead.
• addExtent - deprecated, use package
  leafem instead.
• addImageQuery - deprecated, use package
  leafem instead.
• latticeView & sync - deprecated, use package
  leafsync instead.
• slideView - deprecated, use package
  slideview instead.
• cubeView - deprecated, use package
  cubeview instead.
• plainview - deprecated, use package
  plainview instead.
• popupTable, popupGraph & popupImage - deprecated, use package
  leafpop instead.
• addLargeFeatures - use
  leafgl::addGL*
  functions instead.

Objects of the following spatial classes are supported:

• sf
• raster (Layer, Stack,
  Brick and SpatialPixels* / SpatialGridDataFrame)
• stars
• sp (Points, Polygons, Lines
  and their DataFrame version)
• satellite

Installation

For CRAN release version of mapview use

install.packages("mapview")

To install the development version you can install the
remotes package.

NOTE: As of version 2.9.1 development will happen on the master
branch. Please consider the develop branch obsolete.

remotes::install_github("r-spatial/mapview")

Usage

The most basic call

mapview(breweries)

will produce a web map visualisation of the breweries data with the
following components:
