ly_map: Add a "map" layer to a Bokeh figure

Description

Draws lines and polygons as specified by a map database

Usage

ly_map(
  fig,
  database = "world",
  regions = ".",
  color = NULL,
  alpha = 1,
  lname = NULL,
  lgroup = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

fig

figure to modify

database, regions

parameters passed to map

color

color for the glyph - a hex code (with no alpha) or any of the 147 named CSS colors, e.g 'green', 'indigo' - for glyphs with both fill and line properties, see "Handling color" below

alpha

the alpha transparency of the glyph between 0 (transparent) and 1 (opaque) - if glyph has both fill and color properties, see "Handling alpha" below

lname

layer name

lgroup

layer group

…

additional parameters for fine control over fill and line properties (see "Additional parameters" below)

Handling color

The color parameter is a high-level plot attribute that provides default behavior for coloring glyphs.

  • When using a glyph that only has line properties, this will be the color of the line.

  • When using a glyph that has has line and fill properties, this will be the color of the line and the fill, with the alpha level of the fill reduced by 50%.

  • If full control over fill and line color is desired, the fill_color and line_color attributes can be specified explicitly and will override color.

When color is NULL and fill_color or line_color are not specified, the color will be chosen from the theme.

Handling alpha

The alpha is a high-level plot attribute that sets the transparency of the glyph being plotted.

  • When using a glyph that only has line properties, this will be the alpha of the line.

  • When using a glyph that has has line and fill properties, this will be the alpha of the line and the alpha of the fill will be set to 50% of this value.

  • Individual fill and line alpha can be specified with fill_alpha and line_alpha and will override alpha.

Additional parameters

fill_color color to use to fill the glyph with - a hex code (with no alpha) or any of the 147 named CSS colors, e.g 'green', 'indigo'
fill_alpha transparency value between 0 (transparent) and 1 (opaque)
line_color color to use to stroke lines with - a hex code (with no alpha) or any of the 147 named CSS colors, e.g 'green', 'indigo'
line_width stroke width in units of pixels
line_alpha transparency value between 0 (transparent) and 1 (opaque)
line_join how path segments should be joined together 'miter' 'round' 'bevel'
line_cap how path segments should be terminated 'butt' 'round' 'square'
line_dash array of integer pixel distances that describe the on-off pattern of dashing to use
