The set has been filtered for only Tasmanian areas. The data set of Tasmanian Statistical Areas at level two has been provided in the `sugarbag` package. Alternatively the data can be created from the set of Australian areas using the following code: ``` library(strayr) strayr::sa22016 %>% filter(state_name_2016 == "Tasmania") %>% # convert to long lat st_transform(., crs = "+proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80") ``` ### Centroids The function `create_centroids` finds the central points of the polygons provided as an argument. ```{r centroids} # Find the longitude and latitude centroid for each region or area centroids <- create_centroids(tas_sa2, sf_id = "sa2_name_2016") ``` ### Hexagon grid To tessellate correctly, all the hexagons must be evenly spaced. This function creates a grid of possible locations for the polygons. ```{r grid} grid <- create_grid(centroids = centroids, hex_size = 0.2, buffer_dist = 1.2) ``` The `sugarbag` package operates by creating a grid of possible hexagons to allocate electorates. The buffer extends the grid beyond the geographical space, this is especially useful for densely populated coastal areas or cities, such as Brisbane and Sydney in this case, Hobart. ### Allocate areas Each polygon centroid will be allocated to the closest available hexagon grid point. The capital cities data set will be used to preserve neighbourly relationships. The `allocate` function requires two inputs, the centroids and the grid. ```{r allocate} # Allocate the centroids to the hexagon grid # We have the same amount of rows, as individual regions hex_allocated <- allocate(centroids = centroids, sf_id = "sa2_name_2016", hex_grid = grid, hex_size = 0.2, # same size used in create_grid hex_filter = 10, focal_points = capital_cities, # same column used in create_centroids width = 30, verbose = TRUE) ``` The function `fortify_hexagon` assists in plotting. We now have 6 points per region, one for each point of a hexagon. Connecting these points will allow actual hexagons to be plotted. The additional demographic information or data can now be added. This can be used to allow plots to be coloured by region. For animations to move between geography and hexagons the `sf_id` must match, there also needs to be an identifier to separate the states to animate between for `gganimate`. ```{r ggplot} hexagons <- hex_allocated %>% fortify_hexagon(hex_size = 0.2, sf_id = "sa2_name_2016") %>% left_join(., tas_sa2) %>% mutate(poly_type = "hex") polygons <- fortify_sfc(tas_sa2) %>% mutate(poly_type = "geo") ggplot(mapping = aes(fill = sa4_name_2016)) + geom_polygon(data = polygons, aes(x=long, lat, group = interaction(sa2_name_2016,polygon)), alpha = 0.4) + geom_polygon(data = hexagons, aes(x=long, lat, group = interaction(sa2_name_2016))) + scale_fill_viridis_d() ``` ```{r prepareanimation} hexagon_points <- hexagons %>% select(sa4_name_2016, sa2_name_2016, sa2_name_2016, long, lat, poly_type) %>% left_join(polygons %>% distinct(sa2_name_2016, polygon), by = "sa2_name_2016") polygon_points <- polygons %>% select(sa4_name_2016, sa2_name_2016, long, lat, polygon, poly_type) animate_tas <- bind_rows(hexagon_points, polygon_points) %>% left_join(homeless, by = "sa2_name_2016") animate_tas %>% ggplot(aes(x=long, y=lat, group = interaction(polygon, sa2_name_2016))) + geom_polygon(aes(fill = sa4_name_2016)) + geom_polygon(data = polygon_points %>% select(-poly_type), fill = "grey40", alpha = 0.05) + coord_equal() + theme_void() + guides(fill = guide_legend(title = NULL)) + theme(legend.position = "bottom") + facet_wrap(~poly_type) + scale_fill_viridis_d() ``` Creating an animation requires additional packages. Consider installing: - the `transformr` package to tween (go between) polygons - the `gifski` package for gif output - the `ava` package for video output ```{r createanimation, eval = FALSE} library(gganimate) library(transformr) animation <- animate_tas %>% ggplot(aes(x=long, y=lat, group = interaction(polygon, sa2_name_2016))) + geom_polygon(aes(fill = sa4_name_2016)) + geom_polygon(data = polygon_points %>% select(-poly_type), fill = "grey40", alpha = 0.05) + coord_equal() + theme_void() + guides(fill = guide_legend(title = NULL)) + theme(legend.position = "bottom") + transition_states(states = poly_type) + scale_fill_viridis_d() animated <- animate(animation, fps = 10, duration = 15, start_pause = 5, end_pause = 5, rewind = FALSE) anim_save(filename = "tasmania_animation.gif", animated) ```
