Introduction to simple mapping in R: georeferencing lat/long coordinates, thematic mapping and choropleth maps, using simple features, leaflet, and tmap and mapview.

README

Learning materials for the Mapping with R workshop, part of the Rfun learning series hosted by the Data & Visualization Services Department.

The objective of this workshop is to introduce practical georeferencing (lat/long plotting) and thematic mapping. The principle library packages used will be: leaflet, tidycensus, sf, tmap, and ggmap

Outline

1. Georeferencing with lat/lon points and leaflet
2. Choropleth with TidyCensus
3. Interactive Thematic Mapping with Simple Features
