biscale
implements a set of functions for bivariate themeatic mapping
based on the
tutorial
written by Timo Grossenbacher and Angelo Zehr as well as a set of
bivariate mapping palettes from Joshua Stevens’s
tutorial.
The package currently supports two-by-two and three-by-three bivariate
maps:
In addition to support for both two-by-two and three-by-three maps, the package also supports four methods for calculating breaks for bivariate maps.
If the sf
package is already installed, the development version of
biscale
can be accessed from GitHub with remotes
:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("slu-openGIS/biscale")
Additional details, including some tips for installing sf
, can be
found in the Get started
article.
In addition to instructions for installation, the main Get started article has:
- a quick overview of bivariate mapping,
- a description of the workflrow for creating bivariate maps,
- a comparison of different approaches to calculating those classes,
- and a comparison of different color palettes for bivariate mapping.
