Final Map

Because our leaflet map is built in layers, we can add different types of information to the same base map (e.g., points and polygons). When adding new layers based on different data to an existing leaflet object we must specify the data argument with the function that creates the new layer to override the data that is piped through the chain of functions.

m4  %>% 
    addCircleMarkers(data = private)

Let's combine our point and polygon maps to add a layer highlighting America's wealthiest zip codes to our map of every college in America. To get us started, the last layered version of the college map m4 has been printed for you and the wealthy_zips SpatialPolygonsDataFrame is pre-loaded.

After you create the final map, take a few minutes to explore (and enjoy) your leaflet map!

Chapter 1 will introduce students to the htmlwidgets package and the leaflet package. Following this introduction, students will build their first interactive web map using leaflet. Through the process of creating this first map students will be introduced to many of the core features of the leaflet package, including adding different map tiles, setting the center point and zoom level, plotting single points based on latitude and longitude coordinates, and storing leaflet maps as objects. Chapter 1 will conclude with students geocoding DataCamp’s headquarters, and creating a leaflet map that plots the headquarters and displays a popup describing the location.

In Chapter 4 students will learn to map polygons, which can be used to define geographic regions (e.g., zip codes, states, countries, etc.). Chapter 4 will start by plotting the zip codes in North Carolina that fall in the top quartile of mean family incomes. Students will learn to customize the polygons with color palettes and labels. Chapter 4 will conclude with adding a new layer to the map of every college in America that displays every zip code with a mean income of $200,000 or more during the 2015 tax year. Through the process of mapping zip codes students will learn about spatial data generally, geoJSON data, the @ symbol, and the addPolygons() function. Furthermore, students will have an opportunity to practice applying many of the options that they learned about in the previous chapters, such as popups and labels, as well as new ways to customize their maps, such as the highlight option in addPolygons().
