Mapping with Shapefiles and Thiessen polygon generation
Today Tung Nguyen presented some advanced mapping techniques. Today’s presentation used the following packages and a function from Stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12156475/combine-voronoi-polygons-and-maps). He also used the attached shapefiles: r_base_shapefile
Packages: “deldir”, “rgdal”, “sp”, “rgeos”, “maptools”, “gstat”, “mapview”, “ggplot2”, “ggmap”, “viridis”, “dplyr”
Tung showed us how he created polygons for individual catchments basins and then apply those polygons to a google maps basemap. In addition, we used ggplot2 to create differently sized symbols representing mean catchment size.
