Overview

About

Maintained by Tim AppelhansFirst published 2019-03-225 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides methods for plotting potentially large (raster) images interactively on a plain HTML canvas. In contrast to package 'mapview' data are plotted without background map, but data can be projected to any spatial coordinate reference system. Supports plotting of classes 'RasterLayer', 'RasterStack', 'RasterBrick' (from package 'raster') as well as 'png' files located on disk. Interactivity includes zooming, panning, and mouse location information. In case of multi-layer 'RasterStacks' or 'RasterBricks', RGB image plots are created (similar to 'raster::plotRGB' - but interactive).

Install

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

install.packages("plainview", 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/plainview")

Development version from r-spatial/plainview. 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-plainview

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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-plainview

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-plainview

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
