mapwtf

The goal of mapwtf is to plot topography for simple maps anywhere. Might become a ‘automap()’ like the ‘SOmap_auto()’ function in SOmap package.

Installation

You can install from github with

remotes::install_github("mdsumner/mapwtf")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to plot topography anywhere in any projection on the earth. Just replace ‘reg’ with your projected raster to fill it with elevation values using populate_topo().

library(mapwtf)
for (i in seq_len(5)) {
  reg <- any_region(width = runif(1L, 50000, 5e6))
  x <- populate_topo(reg)
  raster::plot(x, col = hcl.colors(256))
  grat(x)
}

reg <- any_region(proj = "stere", width = 7e6, lat_0=-90, lon_0=147, lat_ts=-75)
x <- populate_topo(reg)
raster::plot(x, col = hcl.colors(256))
grat(x)
