Request for Leaflet Choropleth Example #105
Comments
Choropleths are on my list of things to support in rCharts. I will leave this issue open to serve me as a reminder. |
I've got a bit lost with where you are with choropleth support within rCharts. I seem to recall reading that you have now linked with the DataMaps package as well as Leaflet so is that a better way to go? I have just been trying out the new choroplethr package. Quite promising but does not have ability to render individual states as yet |
You are right in that I have added bindings for I haven't found a good chunk of time to enhance the mapping functionality in |
re chloroplethr, it is pretty straightforward to extend the examples in the blog post to other ACS tables - and presumably to any other US datasets with breakdown by state/county. I'd like to help but other than develop more Shiny apps based on rCharts and singing your praises, I'm out of my depth. Don't you have students you could press into service? |
Yes. I have looked through the I do have students, but working on supply chain and operations management problems. So, can't press them into service for an R project :) |
After supply chain and operations management problems I would have thought R projects would be light relief for the weekends. I guess you live in Canada's fun city |
Hehe. R only projects would be certainly game. The trouble is the need to be proficient in both JS and R :) |
Truila have just released a choropleth package that does about 90 percent of what I'm trying to do with census data. The package is at https://github.com/trulia/choroplethr. My package is at https://github.com/znmeb/pdxcensusdata. I've got code now to dump a SpatialPolygonDataFrame to a GeoJSON file. So I think the pieces can be pasted together from my code, Trulia's and rCharts. The biggest thing I need now is documentation on how to call the Leaflet parts of rCharts. I was considering forking the bikeshare mapping app and trying to hack that into a census data mapper. ;-) |
One more to consider kartograph for choropleth mapping with an example here. Also wanted to make sure that everyone is aware of the leaflet plugins. |
