In previous posts I have demonstrated how one can geocode data and plot markers using Geopy and Folium in Python. I have also demonstrated heatmapping workflows in R, using packages such as Leaflet. In this post I want to use […]
In a previous post I have already demonstrated how to use Nominatim in Python (using the Geopy module) to geocode a location name into longitude and latitude coordinates. In this post I want to show how one can geocode a […]
I have already demonstrated various possibilities for geocoding spatial data in the form of city or location names in R, using APIs such as the one provided by Open Street Map. In this post I will demonstrate the possibility of […]
Using Folium in Python one can display maps. Folium can be installed using pip install. Folium make use of the leaflet.js library. In a previous post I already demonstrated how to e.g. plot markers and heatmaps onto maps in R, […]
In previous posts I have demonstrated how to geocode location strings using the Open Street Map API in two different ways. The first approach was to implement a function that sents a string to the OSM API directly, using http. […]
In this blogpost I provide a coding example in R for how to create a map-based scatterplot using the deckgl package. This can come in handy when visualising data with some spatial aspect. For example you might want to visualise […]
In a previous post I demonstrated how one can generate map-based heatmap distribution plots using the Leaflet package in R. In that example I implemented a function that sends locations as strings to a Open Street Map API and then […]
In this code example I use a geocoding function found on datascienceplus to geocode Google trends search intensity data, comparing search trend by city name for “Burger” and “Pizza” in Germany. I then visualize the results with heatmaps, generated with […]
In previous posts I have demonstrated how to create heatmaps in R, using e.g. deckgl, ggmap and Leaflet. I have also given an overview of several packages applicable for the purpose of visualizing spatial data in R. This post provides […]
I want to provide an example for how to plot 3D map plots with the deckgl package in R. I generate a bar plot on a map layout from Mapbox. First, I define our Open Street Map geocoding function, found […]
In this post I want to provide a brief overview of useful packages in R for visualizing spatial data in R. The packages discussed are webglobe, deckgl, ggmap, ggplot2 and Leaflet. webglobe The webglobe package allows you to create e.g. […]
In this post I want to demonstrate how spatial locations can be plotted onto map tiles using the ggplot2 package in R. For this, we first load the relevant packages. In addition, we define a geocoding function using the Open […]
I have already provided examples on how to create heatmaps (i.e. density plots) using deckgl and Leaflet in R. In this post I want to provide an example for how to visualise spatial attributes of a dataset using the ggmap […]
