A website with R code snippets for mapping

[dirkschumacher]

Again nothing fancy, but maybe useful. A website / github repo with code snippets showing how to recreate certain categories of nice looking maps.

I like the idea of a website with examples of how to recreate maps. Maybe with 3 categories:

• areal data
• point data
• raster data

[Paula-Moraga]

The leaflet package is awesome and maps are interactive: https://rstudio.github.io/leaflet/

[dirkschumacher]

Or by task: plot incidence of cases, plot laboratory data, plot contact networks etc.

[Paula-Moraga]

In that case areal, point and raster data would be categories of incidence cases.

1. incidence cases
   • areal data
   • point data
   • raster data
2. laboratory data
3. contact networks

I like the idea. That probably will help us identify areas for which merely documentation is needed, and bits for which new packages would help.

Re hosting / medium, there's some precedent on RECON resources: http://www.repidemicsconsortium.org/resources/

with the phylogenetics tutorial. But I don't like the fact that it is a Rnw. I'd rather go .Rmd, but are there other suggestions?

I put a toy example online, could be useful to start the discussion: https://github.com/reconhub/epimap_doc
