Create an interactive Leaflet map of sampling stations

Source: R/plot_map_leaflet.R
plot_map_leaflet.Rd

Generates an interactive map using the leaflet package, plotting sampling stations from a data frame. The function automatically detects column names for station, longitude, and latitude, supporting both standard and delivery-style datasets.

Usage

plot_map_leaflet(data, provider = "CartoDB.Positron")

Arguments

data

A data frame containing station coordinates and names. The function accepts either:

  • Standard format: station_name, sample_longitude_dd, sample_latitude_dd

  • Delivery format: STATN, LONGI, LATIT

provider

Character. The tile provider to use for the map background. See available providers at https://leaflet-extras.github.io/leaflet-providers/preview/. Defaults to "CartoDB.Positron".

Value

An HTML widget object (leaflet map) that can be printed or displayed in R Markdown or Shiny applications.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
df <- data.frame(
  station_name = c("Station A", "Station B"),
  sample_longitude_dd = c(10.0, 10.5),
  sample_latitude_dd = c(59.0, 59.5)
)
plot_map_leaflet(df)

df_deliv <- data.frame(
  STATN = c("Station A", "Station B"),
  LONGI = c(10.0, 10.5),
  LATIT = c(59.0, 59.5)
)
plot_map_leaflet(df_deliv)
} # }
