It saves you from having to think about geospatial libraries when all you want to do is make a quick plot from your spreadsheet. See the ‘Getting started’ article, vignette(\"ggautomap\") , for some recipes for different types of plots it can make. ggautomap works best if: - your data is about regions/areas/countries etc., - each row corresponds to an individual observation or data point, and - the locations names in your data are part of a map that is registered with {cartographer} . ggautomap might not be right for you if … - … the place names in your location column aren’t known to {cartographer} . You’ll have to register the map data with cartographer::register map() or load a package that does this for you. This is fairly painless to set up, and can be reused for subsequent plots once you get it working. - … your data is about points instead of regions, or has only a single row for each region with aggregate data. - … your data has latitude and longitude columns, or is already a geospatial object such as an {sf} dataframe. - … you want to manipulate the geometries or otherwise have more control. ggautomap is aimed at the simple case, so the geometries are attached on the fly when the plot is compiled. In most of these cases, you should instead use a combination of {sf} , ggplot2::geom sf() , and possibly {cartographer} to ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/cidm-ph","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/cidm-ph/ggautomap/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
