In this article, we demonstrate how to set up a leafdown
map with three map levels and show that it is an natural extension of the two map level case. (More than two map levels is supported from leafdown
version 1.1.)
Let’s first load the libraries we are going to use for our app.
library(leafdown)
library(leaflet)
library(shiny)
library(dplyr)
library(shinycssloaders)
library(shinyjs)
library(dplyr)
library(raster)
(Note that the shinyjs
package is loaded for some automatic warning messages that the leafdown
map can return to the user of the shiny app.)
As usual, we first create a list of SpatialPolygonsDataFrames
(spdfs
) for the regions we want to display on our map. (Further details can be found in the Introduction article.)
list (spdfs_list)
│
└───spdf (spdf of first map level)
│
└───spdf (spdf of second map level)
│
└───spdf (spdf of third map level)
# Germany
<- raster::getData(country = "Germany", level = 0)
ger0 <- raster::getData(country = "Germany", level = 1)
ger1 <- raster::getData(country = "Germany", level = 2)
ger2 # Austria
<- raster::getData(country = "Austria", level = 0)
a0 <- raster::getData(country = "Austria", level = 1)
a1 <- raster::getData(country = "Austria", level = 2)
a2 # Switzerland
<- raster::getData(country = "Switzerland", level = 0)
ch0 <- raster::getData(country = "Switzerland", level = 1)
ch1 <- raster::getData(country = "Switzerland", level = 2) ch2
<- list(rbind(aut0, ch0, ger0), rbind(aut1, ch1, ger1), rbind(aut2, ch2, ger2)) spdfs_list
For this app, we simply generate random target values y
.
set.seed(20220106)
# Simulate data
<- spdfs_list[[3]]@data
data_sim_y_level_3 $y <- round(rnorm(nrow(data_sim_y_level_3), 1e2, sd = 5e2), 0)
data_sim_y_level_3<- data_sim_y_level_3 %>% group_by(NAME_0, NAME_1) %>% summarise(y = sum(y))
data_sim_y_level_2 <- data_sim_y_level_2 %>% group_by(NAME_0) %>% summarise(y = sum(y))
data_sim_y_level_1
# Assign map levels
$level <- 3
data_sim_y_level_3$level <- 2
data_sim_y_level_2$level <- 1
data_sim_y_level_1
# Assign area names
$area <- data_sim_y_level_3$NAME_2
data_sim_y_level_3$area <- data_sim_y_level_2$NAME_1
data_sim_y_level_2$area <- data_sim_y_level_1$NAME_0
data_sim_y_level_1
# Combine data of map levels
<- rbind(
data_sim_y c("area", "y", "level")],
data_sim_y_level_3[, c("area", "y", "level")],
data_sim_y_level_2[, c("area", "y", "level")]
data_sim_y_level_1[,
)
head(data_sim_y)
#> area y level
#> 1 Eisenstadt 1086 3
#> 2 Eisenstadt Umgebung 404 3
#> 3 Güssing 502 3
#> 4 Jennersdorf 752 3
#> 5 Mattersburg 329 3
#> 6 Neusiedl am See 184 3
In order for a leafdown
map to know which shapes of a lower map level belong to the shapes in the upper map level, we need to specify how the data of the spdfs
of different map levels need to be joined. This is defined by the join_map_levels_by
argument, which is a named vector of length length(spdfs_list) - 1
, whereby
The name of an element specifies the join column in the respective upper map level and the actual element the join column of the lower map level.
Let’s have a look at the data of our the spdfs
in spdf_list
:
head(spdfs_list[[1]]@data)
#> GID_0 NAME_0
#> 1 AUT Austria
#> 2 CHE Switzerland
#> 3 DEU Germany
head(spdfs_list[[2]]@data[, c("GID_0", "NAME_0", "GID_1", "NAME_1")])
#> GID_0 NAME_0 GID_1 NAME_1
#> 1 AUT Austria AUT.1_1 Burgenland
#> 2 AUT Austria AUT.2_1 Kärnten
#> 3 AUT Austria AUT.3_1 Niederösterreich
#> 4 AUT Austria AUT.4_1 Oberösterreich
#> 5 AUT Austria AUT.5_1 Salzburg
#> 6 AUT Austria AUT.6_1 Steiermark
In this example, map levels 1 and 2 can be joined by their column “GID_0”. So the name of first element is “GID_0” (the respective column name of the first map level) and the first element is also “GID_0” (the respective column name of the first map level):
head(spdfs_list[[3]]@data[, c("GID_0", "NAME_0", "GID_1", "NAME_1", "GID_2", "NAME_2")])
#> GID_0 NAME_0 GID_1 NAME_1 GID_2 NAME_2
#> 1 AUT Austria AUT.1_1 Burgenland AUT.1.2_1 Eisenstadt
#> 2 AUT Austria AUT.1_1 Burgenland AUT.1.1_1 Eisenstadt Umgebung
#> 3 AUT Austria AUT.1_1 Burgenland AUT.1.3_1 Güssing
#> 4 AUT Austria AUT.1_1 Burgenland AUT.1.4_1 Jennersdorf
#> 5 AUT Austria AUT.1_1 Burgenland AUT.1.5_1 Mattersburg
#> 6 AUT Austria AUT.1_1 Burgenland AUT.1.6_1 Neusiedl am See
We see, that map levels 2 and 3 can be joined by their column “GID_1”.
This translates into the following join_map_levels_by
argument:

my_leafdown "leafdown", input, join_map_levels_by = c("GID_0" = "GID_0", "GID_1" = "GID_1")
