producing heat map over Geo locations in R


I want to produce heat map based on some geo-location data on top of the US map using r. The following plot is created over the US map where I used geom_polygon() and geom_point().

1]

How can I convert this to a heat map to get something as follows or similar?

2]

the r script used to produce the above graph:

library(ggplot2);library(maps);
states <- map_data("state")
ggplot() + 
  geom_polygon(data=states, aes(x=long, y=lat, group=group), color="grey", fill="white")+
  geom_point(data=data, aes(x=long, y=lat, color = X, size = X), alpha = 0.5)+
  scale_colour_gradient(low = "red", high = "green")+ 
  scale_x_discrete()+ scale_y_discrete()+ theme_void()+
  facet_wrap( ~type, nrow = 2)

The data I used:

data <- structure(list(X = c(3L, 2L, 6L, 1L, 4L, 4L, 1L, 2L, 5L, 3L, 
0L, 4L, 4L, 3L, 3L, 2L, 4L, 3L, 4L, 4L, 5L, 3L, 4L, 4L, 2L, 3L,

I appreciate your help.


Solution

  • You can use stat_density2d, specifying geom = "polygon". From the comments, it appears that you would like a plot with 4 facets for each of the values X, Y, and Z. Because stat_density2d will only count each instance of X, Y or Z, rather than taking its magnitude into account, we need to make n replicates of each row according to the value at each point.

    dfX <- data.frame(long = rep(data$long, data$X), 
                      lat  = rep(data$lat,  data$X), 
                      type = rep(data$type, data$X))
    
    dfY <- data.frame(long = rep(data$long, data$Y), 
                      lat  = rep(data$lat,  data$Y), 
                      type = rep(data$type, data$Y))
    
    dfZ <- data.frame(long = rep(data$long, data$Z), 
                      lat  = rep(data$lat,  data$Z), 
                      type = rep(data$type, data$Z))
    

    Now we can define a plotting function:

    plot_mapdata <- function(df)
    {
      states <- ggplot2::map_data("state")
    
      ggplot2::ggplot(data = df, ggplot2::aes(x = long, y = lat)) + 
        ggplot2::lims(x = c(-140, 50), y = c(20, 60)) +
        ggplot2::coord_cartesian(xlim = c(-130, -60), ylim = c(25, 50)) +
        ggplot2::geom_polygon(data = states, ggplot2::aes(x = long, y = lat, group = group), 
                     color = "black", fill = "white") +
        ggplot2::stat_density2d(ggplot2::aes(fill = ..level.., alpha = ..level..), 
                                geom = "polygon") +
        ggplot2::scale_fill_gradientn(colours = rev(RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(7, "Spectral"))) +
        ggplot2::geom_polygon(data = states, ggplot2::aes(x = long, y = lat, group = group), 
                     color = "black", fill = "none") +
        ggplot2::facet_wrap( ~type, nrow = 2) + 
        ggplot2::theme(legend.position = "none")
    }
    

    So we can do:

    plot_mapdata(dfX)

    plot_mapdata(dfY)

    plot_mapdata(dfZ)
