create_spatial_map: Create universal spatial map with reliable terra plotting

Description

Universal mapping function that works with any spatial data type using reliable terra and base R plotting. No complex dependencies required. Falls back gracefully when optional packages are unavailable.

Usage

create_spatial_map(
  spatial_data,
  fill_variable = NULL,
  coord_cols = c("lon", "lat"),
  region_boundary = NULL,
  map_type = "auto",
  color_scheme = "viridis",
  interactive = FALSE,
  title = NULL,
  point_size = 3,
  output_file = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Value

ggplot2 object, leaflet map, or file path (depending on options)

Arguments

spatial_data

sf object, data.frame with coordinates, file path, or SpatRaster

fill_variable

Variable to use for fill/color (for vector data)

coord_cols

Coordinate column names if data.frame provided

region_boundary

Optional region boundary

map_type

Type of map: "points", "polygons", "raster", "auto"

color_scheme

Color scheme: "viridis", "plasma", "ndvi", "terrain", "categorical"

interactive

Create interactive map using leaflet (if available)

title

Map title

point_size

Size of points (for point data)

output_file

Optional output file path

verbose

Print progress messages

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# These examples require external data files not included with the package
# Simple point map
create_spatial_map(study_sites, fill_variable = "ndvi_mean")

# Raster map with region boundary
create_spatial_map(ndvi_raster, region_boundary = "Ohio",
                  color_scheme = "ndvi")

# Interactive map (if leaflet available)
create_spatial_map(counties, fill_variable = "population",
                  interactive = TRUE)
}
