Overview

About

Maintained by Tim AppelhansCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: RConsortium

Leverages the high-performance 'GeoArrow' memory layout to render potentially very large 'Deck.gl' data layers on a 'maplibregl'/'mapboxgl' map created with R package 'mapgl'. The heavy lifting is done on the 'JavaScript' side in the browser using 'deck.gl-geoarrow' (https://github.com/geoarrow/deck.gl-geoarrow/). Currently provides functions for adding Scatterplot (points), Path (lines) and Polygon (polygons) layers. Has support for data classes from R packages 'wk' and 'sf'. In addition, convenience functions for styling data, tooltips and popups, as well as layer management are provided. Furthermore, remotely hosted 'GeoParquet' and 'GeoArrow' files can be visualised directly in the browser, without the need to first read them into R memory. Only the styling instructions are prepared by the user in R and are then transferred to and applied in the browser as the data arrives.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("deckglgeoarrow", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("r-spatial/deckglgeoarrow")

Development version from r-spatial/deckglgeoarrow. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-deckglgeoarrow

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-deckglgeoarrow

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-deckglgeoarrow

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
