Overview

About

Maintained by Carl SusterCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Mapping tools that convert place names to coordinates on the fly. These 'ggplot2' extensions make maps from a data frame where one of the columns contains place names, without having to directly work with the underlying geospatial data and tools. The corresponding map data must be registered with 'cartographer' either by the user or by another package.

Changes in 0.4.0

configure_inset() now uses the new inset shape definition style from {ggmapinset}. Previously {ggautomap} shadowed this function to implement the new functionality, which made results depend on the order of package attachment. The old syntax will continuw to work with a warning until a future release.
Require a newer version of {ggmapinset} to fix a confusing behaviour where a geom with no inset configured could sometimes draw two copies of itself (#5).
stat_geoscatter() and geom_geoscatter() now use a fixed seed by default so that the position of scattered points is reproducible. The old behaviour can be restored by setting seed = NA.

Install

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

install.packages("ggautomap", 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("cidm-ph/ggautomap")

Development version from cidm-ph/ggautomap. 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-ggautomap

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-ggautomap

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-ggautomap

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.
