Add a hexagon layer to the deckgl widget

The HexagonLayer renders a hexagon heatmap based on an array of points. It takes the radius of hexagon bin, projects points into hexagon bins. The color and height of the hexagon is scaled by number of points it contains.

add_hexagon_layer(
  deckgl,
  data = NULL,
  properties = list(),
  ...,
  id = "hexagon-layer"
)

Arguments

deckgl: A deckgl widget object.
data: The url to fetch data from or a data object.
properties: A named list of properties with names corresponding to the properties defined in the deckgl-api-reference for the given layer class. The properties parameter can also be an empty list. In this case all props must be passed as named arguments.
...: Named arguments that will be added to the properties object. Identical parameters are overwritten.
id: The unique id of the layer.

Examples

## @knitr hexagon-layer
data("sf_bike_parking")

properties <- list(
  extruded = TRUE,
  radius = 200,
  elevationScale = 4,
  getPosition = ~lng + lat,
  colorRange = RColorBrewer::brewer.pal(6, "Oranges"),
  tooltip = "
    <p>{{position.0}}, {{position.1}}<p>
    <p>Count: {{points.length}}</p>
    <p>{{#points}}<div>{{address}}</div>{{/points}}</p>
  ",
  onClick = JS("obj => console.log(obj)"),
  autoHighlight = TRUE
)

deck <- deckgl(zoom = 11, pitch = 45, bearing = 35) %>%
  add_hexagon_layer(data = sf_bike_parking, properties = properties) %>%
  add_control("Hexagon Layer", "top-left") %>%
  add_basemap()
