Title: Convert Data from and to 'GeoJSON' or 'TopoJSON'
Version: 0.11.3
Description: Convert data to 'GeoJSON' or 'TopoJSON' from various R classes, including vectors, lists, data frames, shape files, and spatial classes. 'geojsonio' does not aim to replace packages like 'sp', 'rgdal', 'rgeos', but rather aims to be a high level client to simplify conversions of data from and to 'GeoJSON' and 'TopoJSON'.

I/O for GeoJSON

Description

Convert various data formats to/from GeoJSON or TopoJSON. This package focuses mostly on converting lists, data.frame's, numeric, SpatialPolygons, SpatialPolygonsDataFrame, and more to GeoJSON with the help of sf. You can currently read TopoJSON - writing TopoJSON will come in a future version of this package.

Package organization

The core functions in this package are organized first around what you're working with or want to get, GeoJSON or TopoJSON, then convert to or read from various formats:

Other interesting functions:

All of the above functions have methods for various classes, including numeric vectors, data.frame, list, SpatialPolygons, SpatialLines, SpatialPoints, and many more - which will try to do the right thing based on the data you give as input.

Convert spatial data files to GeoJSON from various formats.

Description

You can use a web interface called Ogre, or do conversions locally using the sf package.

Usage

file_to_geojson(
  input,
  method = "web",
  output = ".",
  parse = FALSE,
  encoding = "CP1250",
  verbose = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

input

The file being uploaded, path to the file on your machine.

method

(character) One of "web" (default) or "local". Matches on partial strings. This parameter determines how the data is read. "web" means we use the Ogre web service, and "local" means we use sf. See Details fore more.

output

Destination for output geojson file. Defaults to current working directory, and gives a random alphanumeric file name

parse

(logical) To parse geojson to data.frame like structures if possible. Default: FALSE

encoding

(character) The encoding passed to sf::st_read(). Default: CP1250

verbose

(logical) Printing of sf::st_read() progress. Default: FALSE

...

Additional parameters passed to st_read

Value

path for the geojson file

Method parameter

The web option uses the Ogre web API. Ogre currently has an output size limit of 15MB. See here http://ogre.adc4gis.com/ for info on the Ogre web API. The local option uses the function st_write from the package rgdal.

Ogre

Note that for Shapefiles, GML, MapInfo, and VRT, you need to send zip files to Ogre. For other file types (.bna, .csv, .dgn, .dxf, .gxt, .txt, .json, .geojson, .rss, .georss, .xml, .gmt, .kml, .kmz) you send the actual file with that file extension.

Linting GeoJSON

If you're having trouble rendering GeoJSON files, ensure you have a valid GeoJSON file by running it through the package geojsonlint, which has a variety of different GeoJSON linters.

File size

When using method="web", be aware of file sizes. https://ogre.adc4gis.com that we use for this option does not document what file size is too large, but you should get an error message like "maximum file length exceeded" when that happens. method="local" shouldn't be sensitive to file sizes.

Examples

## Not run: 
file <- system.file("examples", "norway_maple.kml", package = "geojsonio")

# KML type file - using the web method
file_to_geojson(input = file, method = "web", output = "kml_web")
## read into memory

Convert many input types with spatial data to geojson specified as a json string

Description

Convert many input types with spatial data to geojson specified as a json string

Usage

geojson_json(
  input,
  lat = NULL,
  lon = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  geometry = "point",
  type = "FeatureCollection",
  convert_wgs84 = FALSE,
  crs = NULL,
  precision = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

input

Input list, data.frame, spatial class, or sf class. Inputs can also be dplyr tbl_df class since it inherits from data.frame.

lat

(character) Latitude name. The default is NULL, and we attempt to guess.

lon

(character) Longitude name. The default is NULL, and we attempt to guess.

group

(character) A grouping variable to perform grouping for polygons - doesn't apply for points

geometry

(character) One of point (Default) or polygon.

type

(character) The type of collection. One of 'auto' (default for 'sf' objects), 'FeatureCollection' (default for everything else), or 'GeometryCollection'. "skip" skips the coercion with package geojson functions; skipping can save significant run time on larger geojson objects. Spatial objects can only accept "FeatureCollection" or "skip". "skip" is not available as an option for numeric, list, and data.frame classes

convert_wgs84

Should the input be converted to the standard CRS system for GeoJSON (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946) (geographic coordinate reference system, using the WGS84 datum, with longitude and latitude units of decimal degrees; EPSG: 4326). Default is FALSE though this may change in a future package version. This will only work for sf or Spatial objects with a CRS already defined. If one is not defined but you know what it is, you may define it in the crs argument below.

crs

The CRS of the input if it is not already defined. This can be an epsg code as a four or five digit integer or a valid proj4 string. This argument will be ignored if convert_wgs84 is FALSE or the object already has a CRS.

precision

(integer) desired number of decimal places for coordinates. Using fewer decimal places decreases object sizes (at the cost of precision). This changes the underlying precision stored in the data. ⁠options(digits = <some number>)⁠ changes the maximum number of digits displayed (to find out what yours is set at see getOption("digits")); the value of this parameter will change what's displayed in your console up to the value of getOption("digits"). See Precision section for more.

...

Further args passed on to internal functions. For Spatial* classes, it is passed through to sf::st_write(). For sf classes, data.frames, lists, numerics, and geo_lists, it is passed through to jsonlite::toJSON()

Details

This function creates a geojson structure as a json character string; it does not write a file - see geojson_write() for that

Note that all sp class objects will output as FeatureCollection objects, while other classes (numeric, list, data.frame) can be output as FeatureCollection or GeometryCollection objects. We're working on allowing GeometryCollection option for sp class objects.

Also note that with sp classes we do make a round-trip, using sf::st_write() to write GeoJSON to disk, then read it back in. This is fast and we don't have to think about it too much, but this disk round-trip is not ideal.

For sf classes (sf, sfc, sfg), the following conversions are made:

Value

An object of class geo_json (and json)

Precision

Precision is handled in different ways depending on the class.

The digits parameter of jsonlite::toJSON controls precision for classes numeric, list, data.frame, and geo_list.

For sp classes, precision is controlled by sf::st_write, being passed down through geojson_write(), then through internal function write_geojson(), then another internal function write_ogr_sf()

For sf classes, precision isn't quite working yet.

Examples

Convert many input types with spatial data to geojson specified as a list

Description

Convert many input types with spatial data to geojson specified as a list

Usage

geojson_list(
  input,
  lat = NULL,
  lon = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  geometry = "point",
  type = "FeatureCollection",
  convert_wgs84 = FALSE,
  crs = NULL,
  precision = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

input

Input list, data.frame, spatial class, or sf class. Inputs can also be dplyr tbl_df class since it inherits from data.frame

lat

(character) Latitude name. The default is NULL, and we attempt to guess.

lon

(character) Longitude name. The default is NULL, and we attempt to guess.

group

(character) A grouping variable to perform grouping for polygons - doesn't apply for points

geometry

(character) One of point (Default) or polygon.

type

(character) The type of collection. One of FeatureCollection (default) or GeometryCollection.

convert_wgs84

Should the input be converted to the standard CRS for GeoJSON (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946) (geographic coordinate reference system, using the WGS84 datum, with longitude and latitude units of decimal degrees; EPSG: 4326). Default is FALSE though this may change in a future package version. This will only work for sf or Spatial objects with a CRS already defined. If one is not defined but you know what it is, you may define it in the crs argument below.

crs

The CRS of the input if it is not already defined. This can be an epsg code as a four or five digit integer or a valid proj4 string. This argument will be ignored if convert_wgs84 is FALSE or the object already has a CRS.

precision

(integer) desired number of decimal places for coordinates. Only used with classes from sp classes; ignored for other classes. Using fewer decimal places decreases object sizes (at the cost of precision). This changes the underlying precision stored in the data. ⁠options(digits = <some number>)⁠ changes the maximum number of digits displayed (to find out what yours is set at see getOption("digits")); the value of this parameter will change what's displayed in your console up to the value of getOption("digits")

...

Ignored

Details

This function creates a geojson structure as an R list; it does not write a file - see geojson_write() for that.

Note that all sp class objects will output as FeatureCollection objects, while other classes (numeric, list, data.frame) can be output as FeatureCollection or GeometryCollection objects. We're working on allowing GeometryCollection option for sp class objects.

Also note that with sp classes we do make a round-trip, using sf::st_write() to write GeoJSON to disk, then read it back in. This is fast and we don't have to think about it too much, but this disk round-trip is not ideal.

For sf classes (sf, sfc, sfg), the following conversions are made:

For list and data.frame objects, you don't have to pass in lat and lon parameters if they are named appropriately (e.g., lat/latitude, lon/long/longitude), as they will be auto-detected. If they can not be found, the function will stop and warn you to specify the parameters specifically.

Convert objects to an sf class

Description

Convert objects to an sf class

Usage

geojson_sf(x, stringsAsFactors = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

Object of class geo_list, geo_json, string, or json

stringsAsFactors

Convert strings to Factors? Default FALSE.

...

Further args passed on to sf::st_read()

Details

The type of sf object returned will depend on the input GeoJSON. Sometimes you will get back a POINTS class, and sometimes a POLYGON class, etc., depending on what the structure of the GeoJSON.

The reading and writing of the CRS to/from geojson is inconsistent. You can directly set the CRS by passing a valid PROJ4 string or epsg code to the crs argument in sf::st_read()

Value

An sf class object, see Details.

This function helps add styling data to a list or data.frame following the Simplestyle Spec (https://github.com/mapbox/simplestyle-spec/tree/master/1.1.0), used by MapBox and GitHub Gists (that renders geoJSON/topoJSON as interactive maps).

There are a few other style variables, but deal with polygons

GitHub has a nice help article on geoJSON files https://help.github.com/articles/mapping-geojson-files-on-github/

Please do get in touch if you think anything should change in this function.

(character) A path and file name (e.g., myfile), with the .geojson file extension. Default writes to current working directory.

overwrite

(logical) Overwrite the file given in file with input. Default: TRUE. If this param is FALSE and the file already exists, we stop with error message.

precision

desired number of decimal places for the coordinates in the geojson file. Using fewer decimal places can decrease file sizes (at the cost of precision).

convert_wgs84

Should the input be converted to the standard CRS for GeoJSON (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946) (geographic coordinate reference system, using the WGS84 datum, with longitude and latitude units of decimal degrees; EPSG: 4326). Default is FALSE though this may change in a future package version. This will only work for sf or Spatial objects with a CRS already defined. If one is not defined but you know what it is, you may define it in the crs argument below.

crs

The CRS of the input if it is not already defined. This can be an epsg code as a four or five digit integer or a valid proj4 string. This argument will be ignored if convert_wgs84 is FALSE or the object already has a CRS.

...

Further args passed on to internal functions. For Spatial* classes, data.frames, regular lists, and numerics, it is passed through to sf::st_write(). For sf classes, geo_lists and json classes, it is passed through to jsonlite::toJSON().

Value

A geojson_write class, with two elements:

Publish an interactive map as a GitHub gist

Description

There are two ways to authorize to work with your GitHub account:

Using the PAT method is recommended.

Using the gist_auth() function you can authenticate separately first, or if you're not authenticated, this function will run internally with each function call. If you have a PAT, that will be used, if not, OAuth will be used.

Usage

map_gist(
  input,
  lat = "lat",
  lon = "long",
  geometry = "point",
  group = NULL,
  type = "FeatureCollection",
  file = "myfile.geojson",
  description = "",
  public = TRUE,
  browse = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

input

Input object

lat

Name of latitude variable

lon

Name of longitude variable

geometry

(character) Are polygons in the object

group

(character) A grouping variable to perform grouping for polygons - doesn't apply for points

type

(character) One of FeatureCollection or GeometryCollection

file

File name to use to put up as the gist file

description

Description for the GitHub gist, or leave to default (=no description)

public

(logical) Want gist to be public or not? Default: TRUE

browse

If TRUE (default) the map opens in your default browser.

...

Further arguments passed on to httr::POST

PostGIS setup

Description

geojson_read() allows you to get data out of a PostgreSQL database set up with PostGIS. Below are steps for setting up data that we can at the end query with geojson_read()

Details

If you don't already have PostgreSQL or PostGIS:

Once you have both of those installed, you can proceed below.

Examples

## Not run: 
if (requireNamespace("DBI") && requireNamespace("RPostgres")) {
  library("DBI")
  library("RPostgres")

  # Create connection
  conn <- tryCatch(dbConnect(RPostgres::Postgres()), error = function(e) e)
  if (inherits(conn, "PqConnection")) {

    # Create database

    # New connection to the created database
    conn <- dbConnect(RPostgres::Postgres(), dbname = "postgistest")

    # Initialize PostGIS in Postgres
    dbSendQuery(conn, "CREATE EXTENSION postgis")
    dbSendQuery(conn, "SELECT postgis_full_version()")

    # Create table
    dbSendQuery(conn, "CREATE TABLE locations(loc_id integer primary key
   , loc_name varchar(70), geog geography(POINT) );")

    # Insert data
    dbSendQuery(conn, "INSERT INTO locations(loc_id, loc_name, geog)
 VALUES (1, 'Waltham, MA', ST_GeogFromText('POINT(42.40047 -71.2577)') )
   , (2, 'Manchester, NH', ST_GeogFromText('POINT(42.99019 -71.46259)') )

Convert json input to pretty printed output

Description

Convert json input to pretty printed output

Usage

pretty(x, indent = 4)

Arguments

x

Input, character string

indent

(integer) Number of spaces to indent

Details

Only works with json class input. This is a simple wrapper around jsonlite::prettify(), so you can easily use that yourself.

topojson projections and extensions

Description

topojson projections and extensions

Usage

projections(
  proj,
  rotate = NULL,
  center = NULL,
  translate = NULL,
  scale = NULL,
  clipAngle = NULL,
  precision = NULL,
  parallels = NULL,
  clipExtent = NULL,
  invert = NULL
)

Arguments

proj

Map projection name. One of albers, albersUsa, azimuthalEqualArea, azimuthalEquidistant, conicEqualArea, conicConformal, conicEquidistant, equirectangular, gnomonic, mercator, orthographic, stereographic, or transverseMercator.

rotate

If rotation is specified, sets the projection's three-axis rotation to the specified angles yaw, pitch and roll (or equivalently longitude, latitude and roll) in degrees and returns the projection. If rotation is not specified, returns the current rotation which defaults ⁠[0, 0, 0]⁠. If the specified rotation has only two values, rather than three, the roll is assumed to be 0.

center

If center is specified, sets the projection's center to the specified location, a two-element array of longitude and latitude in degrees and returns the projection. If center is not specified, returns the current center which defaults to (0,0)

translate

If point is specified, sets the projection's translation offset to the specified two-element array ⁠[x, y]⁠ and returns the projection. If point is not specified, returns the current translation offset which defaults to ⁠[480, 250]⁠. The translation offset determines the pixel coordinates of the projection's center. The default translation offset places (0,0) at the center of a 960x500 area.

scale

If scale is specified, sets the projection's scale factor to the specified value and returns the projection. If scale is not specified, returns the current scale factor which defaults to 150. The scale factor corresponds linearly to the distance between projected points. However, scale factors are not consistent across projections.

clipAngle

If angle is specified, sets the projection's clipping circle radius to the specified angle in degrees and returns the projection. If angle is null, switches to antimeridian cutting rather than small-circle clipping. If angle is not specified, returns the current clip angle which defaults to null. Small-circle clipping is independent of viewport clipping via clipExtent.

precision

If precision is specified, sets the threshold for the projection's adaptive resampling to the specified value in pixels and returns the projection. This value corresponds to the Douglas-Peucker distance. If precision is not specified, returns the projection's current resampling precision which defaults to Math.SQRT(1/2).

parallels

Depends on the projection used! See https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Geo-Projections#standard-projections for help

clipExtent

If extent is specified, sets the projection's viewport clip extent to the specified bounds in pixels and returns the projection. The extent bounds are specified as an array ⁠[[x0, y0], [x1, y1]]⁠, where x0 is the left-side of the viewport, y0 is the top, x1 is the right and y1 is the bottom. If extent is null, no viewport clipping is performed. If extent is not specified, returns the current viewport clip extent which defaults to null. Viewport clipping is independent of small-circle clipping via clipAngle.

invert

Projects backward from Cartesian coordinates (in pixels) to spherical coordinates (in degrees). Returns an array ⁠[longitude, latitude]⁠ given the input array ⁠[x, y]⁠.

Examples

projections(proj = "albers")
projections(proj = "albers", rotate = "[98 + 00 / 60, -35 - 00 / 60]", scale = 5700)
projections(proj = "albers", scale = 5700)
projections(proj = "albers", translate = "[55 * width / 100, 52 * height / 100]")
projections(proj = "albers", clipAngle = 90)
projections(proj = "albers", precision = 0.1)
projections(proj = "albers", parallels = "[30, 62]")
projections(proj = "albers", clipExtent = "[[105 - 87, 40], [105 + 87 + 1e-6, 82 + 1e-6]]")
projections(proj = "albers", invert = 60)
projections("orthographic")

This is the same data set from the ggplot2 library

Description

Convert many input types with spatial data to TopoJSON as a JSON string

Description

Convert many input types with spatial data to TopoJSON as a JSON string

Usage

topojson_json(
  input,
  lat = NULL,
  lon = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  geometry = "point",
  type = "FeatureCollection",
  convert_wgs84 = FALSE,
  crs = NULL,
  object_name = "foo",
  quantization = 0,
  ...
)

Arguments

input

Input list, data.frame, spatial class, or sf class. Inputs can also be dplyr tbl_df class since it inherits from data.frame.

lat

(character) Latitude name. The default is NULL, and we attempt to guess.

lon

(character) Longitude name. The default is NULL, and we attempt to guess.

group

(character) A grouping variable to perform grouping for polygons - doesn't apply for points

geometry

(character) One of point (Default) or polygon.

type

(character) The type of collection. One of 'auto' (default for 'sf' objects), 'FeatureCollection' (default for everything else), or 'GeometryCollection'. "skip" skips the coercion with package geojson functions; skipping can save significant run time on larger geojson objects. Spatial objects can only accept "FeatureCollection" or "skip". "skip" is not available as an option for numeric, list, and data.frame classes

convert_wgs84

Should the input be converted to the standard CRS system for GeoJSON (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946) (geographic coordinate reference system, using the WGS84 datum, with longitude and latitude units of decimal degrees; EPSG: 4326). Default is FALSE though this may change in a future package version. This will only work for sf or Spatial objects with a CRS already defined. If one is not defined but you know what it is, you may define it in the crs argument below.

crs

The CRS of the input if it is not already defined. This can be an epsg code as a four or five digit integer or a valid proj4 string. This argument will be ignored if convert_wgs84 is FALSE or the object already has a CRS.

object_name

(character) name to give to the TopoJSON object created. Default: "foo"

quantization

(numeric) quantization parameter, use this to quantize geometry prior to computing topology. Typical values are powers of ten (1e4, 1e5, ...), default is 0 to not perform quantization. For more information about quantization, see this by Mike Bostock https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18900022/topojson-quantization-vs-simplification/18921214#18921214

Convert many input types with spatial data to TopoJSON as a list

Description

Convert many input types with spatial data to TopoJSON as a list

Usage

topojson_list(
  input,
  lat = NULL,
  lon = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  geometry = "point",
  type = "FeatureCollection",
  convert_wgs84 = FALSE,
  crs = NULL,
  object_name = "foo",
  quantization = 0,
  ...
)

Arguments

input

Input list, data.frame, spatial class, or sf class. Inputs can also be dplyr tbl_df class since it inherits from data.frame

lat

(character) Latitude name. The default is NULL, and we attempt to guess.

lon

(character) Longitude name. The default is NULL, and we attempt to guess.

group

(character) A grouping variable to perform grouping for polygons - doesn't apply for points

geometry

(character) One of point (Default) or polygon.

type

(character) The type of collection. One of FeatureCollection (default) or GeometryCollection.

convert_wgs84

Should the input be converted to the standard CRS for GeoJSON (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946) (geographic coordinate reference system, using the WGS84 datum, with longitude and latitude units of decimal degrees; EPSG: 4326). Default is FALSE though this may change in a future package version. This will only work for sf or Spatial objects with a CRS already defined. If one is not defined but you know what it is, you may define it in the crs argument below.

crs

The CRS of the input if it is not already defined. This can be an epsg code as a four or five digit integer or a valid proj4 string. This argument will be ignored if convert_wgs84 is FALSE or the object already has a CRS.

object_name

(character) name to give to the TopoJSON object created. Default: "foo"

quantization

(numeric) quantization parameter, use this to quantize geometry prior to computing topology. Typical values are powers of ten (1e4, 1e5, ...), default is 0 to not perform quantization. For more information about quantization, see this by Mike Bostock https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18900022/topojson-quantization-vs-simplification/18921214#18921214

...

args passed down through topojson_json() to geojson_json(); see geojson_json() for help on what's supported here

Details

Internally, we call topojson_json(), then use an internal function to convert that JSON output to a list

The type parameter is automatically converted to type="auto" if a sf, sfc, or sfg class is passed to input

Value

a list with TopoJSON

Read topojson from a local file or a URL

Description

Read topojson from a local file or a URL

Usage

topojson_read(x, ...)

Arguments

x

Path to a local file or a URL.

...

Further args passed on to sf::st_read(). Can use any args from sf::st_read() except quiet, which we have set as quiet = TRUE internally already

Details

Returns a sf class, but you can easily and quickly get this to geojson, see examples.

Note that this does not give you Topojson, but gives you a sf class - which you can use then to turn it into geojson as a list or json

Value

an object of class sf/data.frame

See Also

geojson_read(), topojson_write()

Examples

## Not run: 
# From a file
file <- system.file("examples", "us_states.topojson", package = "geojsonio")
topojson_read(file)

# From a URL
url <- "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/shawnbot/d3-cartogram/master/data/us-states.topojson"
topojson_read(url)

# Use as.location first if you want
topojson_read(as.location(file))

# quickly convert to geojson as a list
file <- system.file("examples", "us_states.topojson", package = "geojsonio")

Write TopoJSON from various inputs

Description

Write TopoJSON from various inputs

Usage

topojson_write(
  input,
  lat = NULL,
  lon = NULL,
  geometry = "point",
  group = NULL,
  file = "myfile.topojson",
  overwrite = TRUE,
  precision = NULL,
  convert_wgs84 = FALSE,
  crs = NULL,
  object_name = "foo",
  quantization = 0,
  ...
)

Arguments

input

Input list, data.frame, spatial class, or sf class. Inputs can also be dplyr tbl_df class since it inherits from data.frame

lat

(character) Latitude name. The default is NULL, and we attempt to guess.

lon

(character) Longitude name. The default is NULL, and we attempt to guess.

geometry

(character) One of point (Default) or polygon.

group

(character) A grouping variable to perform grouping for polygons - doesn't apply for points

file

(character) A path and file name (e.g., myfile), with the .geojson file extension. Default writes to current working directory.

overwrite

(logical) Overwrite the file given in file with input. Default: TRUE. If this param is FALSE and the file already exists, we stop with error message.

precision

desired number of decimal places for the coordinates in the geojson file. Using fewer decimal places can decrease file sizes (at the cost of precision).

convert_wgs84

Should the input be converted to the standard CRS for GeoJSON (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946) (geographic coordinate reference system, using the WGS84 datum, with longitude and latitude units of decimal degrees; EPSG: 4326). Default is FALSE though this may change in a future package version. This will only work for sf or Spatial objects with a CRS already defined. If one is not defined but you know what it is, you may define it in the crs argument below.

crs

The CRS of the input if it is not already defined. This can be an epsg code as a four or five digit integer or a valid proj4 string. This argument will be ignored if convert_wgs84 is FALSE or the object already has a CRS.

object_name

(character) name to give to the TopoJSON object created. Default: "foo"

quantization

(numeric) quantization parameter, use this to quantize geometry prior to computing topology. Typical values are powers of ten (1e4, 1e5, ...), default is 0 to not perform quantization. For more information about quantization, see this by Mike Bostock https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18900022/topojson-quantization-vs-simplification/18921214#18921214

...

Further args passed on to internal functions. For Spatial* classes, data.frames, regular lists, and numerics, it is passed through to sf::st_write(). For sf classes, geo_lists and json classes, it is passed through to jsonlite::toJSON().

Details

Under the hood we simply wrap geojson_write(), then take the GeoJSON output of that operation, then convert to TopoJSON with geo2topo(), then write to disk.

Unfortunately, this process requires a number of round trips to disk, so speed ups will hopefully come soon.

Any intermediate geojson files are cleaned up (deleted).

Value

A topojson_write class, with two elements:

See Also

geojson_write(), topojson_read()

This is the same data set from the maps library, named differently

Description

This database is of us cities of population greater than about 40,000. Also included are state capitals of any population size.

Format

A list with 6 components, namely "name", "country.etc", "pop", "lat", "long", and "capital", containing the city name, the state abbreviation, approximate population (as at January 2006), latitude, longitude and capital status indication (0 for non-capital, 1 for capital, 2 for state capital.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
