simplifying/automating cartography #1

Open josephholler opened 3 years ago

josephholler commented 3 years ago

It might be better to have one layer of traditional authorities without data, used for representing missing data, lakes, and parks / forests, and another layer used for representing data. This way, hopefully the generation of, and legend for, natural breaks classification can be automated in the 2010 adaptive capacity map. Also, then hopefully the same vector data for missing lakes, parks, etc. can be used for reference on all of the maps.

I'm not sure if different classifications can be applied to different layers with ggplot, but there are other packages for thematic mapping in R that might make it easier, e.g. the cartography package.

motivation is to separate qualitative data (lakes, national parks) into one layer, and quantitative data (capacity scores) into another layer with automated classification

and to symbolize quantitative data with a function, rather than needing to save the data into a new column and then manually adjust a legend
