tmap (version 1.10)

tm_grid: Coordinate grid lines

Description

Creates a tmap-element that draws coordinate grid lines. It serves as a layer that can be drawn anywhere between other layers. By default the coordinate system of the (master) shape object is used, which results in horizontal and vertical lines. Alternatively, grid lines can be reprojected, for instance to latitude longitude coordinates, and hence be curved.

Usage

tm_grid(x = NA, y = NA, n.x = NA, n.y = NA, projection = NA,
  col = NA, lwd = 1, alpha = NA, labels.size = 0.6, labels.col = NA,
  labels.margin.x = 0, labels.margin.y = 0, labels.inside.frame = TRUE)

Arguments

x

x coordinates for vertical grid lines. If NA, it is specified with a pretty scale and n.x.

y

y coordinates for horizontal grid lines. If NA, it is specified with a pretty scale and n.y.

n.x

prefered number of grid lines for the x axis.

n.y

prefered number of grid lines for the y axis.

projection

projection character. If specified, the grid lines are projected accordingly. See set_projection for projection details. Many world maps are projected, but still have latitude longitude ("longlat") grid lines.

col

color of the grid lines.

lwd

line width of the grid lines

alpha

alpha transparency of the grid lines. Number between 0 and 1. By default, the alpha transparency of col is taken.

labels.size

font size of the tick labels

labels.col

font color of the tick labels

labels.margin.x

margin between tick labels of x axis and the frame

labels.margin.y

margin between tick labels of y axis and the frame

labels.inside.frame

Show labels inside the frame?
