conn_fish: Fisheye-Distorted Hospital–RACF Connections (sf)

Description

An example LINESTRING layer showing hospital–RACF transfer routes after applying a Focus–Glue–Context (FGC) fisheye warp. It demonstrates how line geometries can be spatially distorted in sync with polygon layers to visualize flow patterns within the magnified focus zone.

Usage

conn_fish

Format

An sf object with:

weight

Numeric, representing transfer magnitude or connection strength.

geometry

LINESTRING geometries in projected CRS (EPSG:3111).

Details

Built from hospital–RACF coordinate pairs in data-raw/transfers_coded.csv using:

1. connection creation via make_connections() to form LINESTRINGs,

2. projection to VicGrid94 (EPSG:3111),

3. distance-based filtering to keep only sources within r_in = 0.34 of the focus point (cx = 145.0, cy = -37.8),

4. fisheye transformation using sf_fisheye() with r_in = 0.428, r_out = 0.429, and zoom_factor = 1.

The resulting object aligns spatially with vic_fish, allowing co-visualization of regional flow intensity within the distorted focus region.
