Usage

isochrone_png(x, y, epsg = 3857, max_min = 1000, break_values = c(0, 3, 6,
  9, 13), key = "my_walkalytics_key")

Arguments

x

x-coordinate of the source location (coordinate system is WGS/84 Pseudo Mercator).

y

y-coordinate of the source location (coordinate system is WGS/84 Pseudo Mercator).

epsg

EPSG code for coordinate system of the x- and y-coordinate.

max_min

integer. Maximum number of minutes for the isochrone.

break_values

a vector of break values (walking time in minutes) for the classification of the PNG result.

key
