Using tmap for heatmaps

Open ccamara opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I know there are several ways to create heatmaps, like leaflet.extras's addHeatmap() for HTML maps or ggmap for printed maps (unfortunately, it requires google api key and is quite cumbersome, as it requires knowing bounding box beforehand). However, I was wondering if that is possible with tmap, as it makes it extremely easy to have both types of maps (interactive and printed) with the same code (+ I love how easy is to create maps).

I have searched in the issues and vignettes but have not found any mention to it (and I was almost sure I had asked that same question before here! -sorry if I am repeating myself)

@ccamara you can create heatmaps (kernel density estimations) on your data first with SpatialKDE, and next plot it with tmap. Learn more at https://jancaha.github.io/SpatialKDE/articles/SpatialKDE.html.
