R scripts and location data for generating maps of
DataONE repositories.
Location data are found in the dataone-nodes.csv file in the main directory, and
the dataone-repo-map.Rmd can be run to generate maps using Leaflet.js to
display maps of the
DataONE Member Nodes and Coordinating nodes.
Maps are generated using the Leaflet package
for R, which in turn generates maps using the leaflet.js library. Leaflet is
rapidly customizable, and has a lot of options. See the documentation, but note
in particular that changing the Base map is particularly easy with the
addProviderTiles() function, which lets you choose from any of the
leaflet providers
basemaps. While we are using the Stamen.Watercolor tile set for a particular
presentation, more maps can be seen with the Thunderforest.OpenCycleMap,
OpenTopoMap, and Stamen.TerrainBackground tile sets, among others.
