Sessions
The R software spatial ecosystem is rich, dynamic and mature and several R packages allow to leverage the power of major FOSS libraries (like GDAL,GEOS or PROJ) for spatial data management.
mapsf
takes advantage of this ecosysem to create and integrate thematic maps in R workflows. It helps designing various cartographic representations such as proportional symbols, choropleth or typology maps. It also offers several functions to display layout elements improving the graphic presentation of maps (e.g. scale bar, north arrow, title, labels). This talk will present the main features of the package and demonstrate how to use it to design high quality maps.
