Title: Offers Various Swiss Maps as Data Frames and 'ggplot2' Objects
Description: Offers various swiss maps as data frames and 'ggplot2' objects and gives the possibility to add layers of data on the maps. Data are publicly available from the swiss federal statistical office. In addition to the \code{maps2} object (a list of 8 swiss maps, at various levels), there are the data frames with the boundaries used to produce these maps (\code{shp_df}, a list with 8 data frames).

ggswissmaps: Offers Various Swiss Maps as Data Frames and 'ggplot2' Objects

Description

Offers various swiss maps as data frames and 'ggplot2' objects and gives the possibility to add layers of data on the maps. Data are publicly available from the swiss federal statistical office. In addition to the maps2 object (a list of 8 swiss maps, at various levels), there are the data frames with the boundaries used to produce these maps (shp_df, a list with 8 data frames).

Prepares the base of a map, starting from a data frame with longitude (long) and latitude (lat) coordinates, as a 'ggplot2' object

Description

Prepares the base of a map, starting from a data frame with longitude (long) and latitude (lat) coordinates, as a 'ggplot2' object

Usage

maps2_(
  data,
  mapping = ggplot2::aes(x = .data[["long"]], y = .data[["lat"]], group =
    .data[["group"]]),
  caption = "Boundaries: BFS GEOSTAT / swisstopo"
)

Arguments

data

data frame with longitude, latitude and group coordinates of a territory (polygons)

mapping

Aesthetic mappings, as character strings (link{ggplot2::aes_string}). Defaults are x = "long", y = "lat" and group = "group" (these work with every element of the list shp_df of ggswissmaps)

caption

text to include in the lower right corner of the map (default: "Boundaries: BFS GEOSTAT / swisstopo")

Examples

data(shp_df)
maps2_(data = shp_df[[1]])

A list with 8 'sf' objects of swiss territory boundaries, at various levels.

Description

Every element of the list is a 'sf' data frame, which can be used with 'ggplot2'.

Format

A list with 8 'sf' data frames with swiss territory boundaries (at various levels).

Details

Every 'sf' data frame has a column "geometry", which is a list-column containing the boundaries of the polygons.

See the vignette (vignette("ggswissmaps_with_sf", package = "ggswissmaps")) for some examples.
