### Interactive viewing of spatial data in R

<a href="https://github.com/tim-salabim/mvl"><img align="right" src="https://github.com/tim-salabim/mvl/blob/cstriestohelp/imagery/animated/box_anim.gif?raw=true" /></a>

**mapview** provides functions to very quickly and conveniently create interactive visualisations of spatial data. It's main goal is to fill the gap of quick (not presentation grade) interactive plotting to examine and visually investigate both aspects of spatial data, the geometries and their attributes. It can also be considered a data-driven API for the [**leaflet**](https://cran.r-project.org/package=leaflet) package as it will automatically render correct map types, depending on the type of the data (points, lines, polygons, raster). In addition, it makes use of some advanced rendering functionality that will enable viewing of much larger data than is possible with **leaflet**. Furthermore, if you're a fan of [**mapdeck**](https://cran.r-project.org/package=mapdeck) (which you should!), you can choose to use it as the rendering platform instead of **leaflet** by setting `mapviewOptions(platform = "mapdeck")`.

The main user relevant functions are:

* `mapview` - view (multiple) spatial objects on a set of background maps
* `viewExtent` - view extent / bounding box of spatial objects
* `viewRGB` - view RGB true- or false-color images of raster objects
* `mapshot` - easily save maps (including leaflet maps) as `html` and/or `png` 
(or other image formats)

Functions that have been deprecated/deleted recently:

* `addHomeButton`  - deprecated, use package [leafem](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=leafem) instead.
* `addLogo`  - deprecated, use package [leafem](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=leafem) instead.
* `addFeatures`  - deprecated, use package [leafem](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=leafem) instead.
* `addMouseCoordinates`  - deprecated, use package [leafem](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=leafem) instead.
* `addExtent`  - deprecated, use package [leafem](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=leafem) instead.
* `addImageQuery`  - deprecated, use package [leafem](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=leafem) instead.
* `latticeView` & `sync` - deprecated, use package [leafsync](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=leafsync) instead.
* `slideView` - deprecated, use package [slideview](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=slideview) instead.
* `cubeView` - deprecated, use package [cubeview](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=cubeview) instead.
* `plainview` - deprecated, use package [plainview](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=plainview) instead.
* `popupTable`, `popupGraph` & `popupImage` - deprecated, use package [leafpop](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=leafpop) instead.
* `addLargeFeatures` - use [leafgl](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=leafgl)`::addGL*` functions instead.

Objects of the following spatial classes are supported:

* [sf](https://cran.r-project.org/package=sf)
* [raster](https://cran.r-project.org/package=raster) (Layer, Stack, Brick and SpatialPixels* / SpatialGridDataFrame)
* [stars](https://cran.r-project.org/package=stars)
* [sp](https://cran.r-project.org/package=sp) (Points, Polygons, Lines and their DataFrame version)
* [satellite](https://cran.r-project.org/package=satellite)


## Installation

For CRAN release version of **mapview** use


```{r, eval=FALSE}
install.packages("mapview")
```


To install the development version you can install the [remotes](https://cran.r-project.org/package=remotes) package.

**NOTE:** As of version 2.9.1 development will happen on the `master` branch. Please consider the `develop` branch obsolete.

```{r, eval=FALSE}
remotes::install_github("r-spatial/mapview")
```


## Usage

The most basic call

```{r, eval=FALSE}
mapview(breweries)
```

will produce a web map visualisation of the breweries data with the following components:
