plot_locations: Plotting locations sent in 'WhatsApp' chat logs on maps

Description

Plots the location data that is sent in the 'WhatsApp' chatlog on an auto-scaled map. Requires unanonymized 'Location' column in data

Usage

plot_locations(
  data,
  names = "all",
  starttime = "1960-01-01 00:00",
  endtime = "2200-01-01 00:00",
  mapzoom = 5,
  return_data = FALSE,
  jitter_value = NA,
  jitter_seed = 12345,
  exclude_sm = FALSE
)

Value

Plots for geolocation and/or a data frame of latitude and longitude coordinates

Arguments

data: A 'WhatsApp' chatlog that was parsed with parse_chatwith anonymize= FALSE or anonymize = "add".
names: A vector of author names that the plots will be restricted to.
starttime: Datetime that is used as the minimum boundary for exclusion. Is parsed with as.POSIXct. Standard format is "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm". Is interpreted as UTC to be compatible with 'WhatsApp' timestamps.
endtime: Datetime that is used as the maximum boundary for exclusion. Is parsed with as.POSIXct. Standard format is "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm". Is interpreted as UTC to be compatible with 'WhatsApp' timestamps.
mapzoom: Value for zoom into the map passed down to get_map. Default value is 5. Higher zoom will auto-download more map files which can take a while.
return_data: If TRUE, returns a data frame of LatLon coordinates extracted from the chat for more elaborate plotting. Default is FALSE.
jitter_value: Amount of random jitter to add to the geolocations to hide exact locations. Default value is 0.01. Can be NA for exact locations.
jitter_seed: Seed for adding random jitter to coordinates. Passed to set.seed
exclude_sm: If TRUE, excludes the 'WhatsApp' system messages from the descriptive statistics. Default is FALSE.
