Small Multiples for Leaflet Web Maps

Create small multiples of several leaflet web maps with (optional) synchronised panning and zooming control. When syncing is enabled all maps respond to mouse actions on one map. This allows side-by-side comparisons of different attributes of the same geometries. Syncing can be adjusted so that any combination of maps can be synchronised.

leafsync is a plugin for leaflet to produce potentially synchronised small multiples of leaflet web maps wrapping Leaflet.Sync.

Installation

You can install the released version of leafsync from CRAN with:

install.packages("leafsync")

Example

library(sp)
library(raster)
library(mapview)
 
data(meuse)
coordinates(meuse) <- ~x+y
proj4string(meuse) <- CRS("+init=epsg:28992")
 
## view different aspects of same data set
m1 <- mapview(meuse, zcol = "soil", burst = TRUE)
m2 <- mapview(meuse, zcol = "lead")
m3 <- mapview(meuse, zcol = "landuse", map.types = "Esri.WorldImagery")
m4 <- mapview(meuse, zcol = "dist.m")
 
sync(m1, m2, m3, m4) # 4 panels synchronised
