generate_compass_overlay: Generate Compass Overlay

Description

This adds the compass

Based on code from "Auxiliary Cartographic Functions in R: North Arrow, Scale Bar, and Label with a Leader Arrow"

Usage

generate_compass_overlay(
  x = 0.85,
  y = 0.15,
  size = 0.075,
  text_size = 1,
  bearing = 0,
  heightmap = NULL,
  width = NA,
  height = NA,
  resolution_multiply = 1,
  color1 = "white",
  color2 = "black",
  text_color = "black",
  border_color = "black",
  border_width = 1,
  halo_color = NA,
  halo_expand = 1,
  halo_alpha = 1,
  halo_offset = c(0, 0),
  halo_blur = 1
)

Value

Semi-transparent overlay with a compass.

Arguments

x

Default `NULL`. The horizontal percentage across the map (measured from the bottom-left corner) where the compass is located.

y

Default `NULL`. The vertical percentage across the map (measured from the bottom-left corner) where the compass is located.

size

Default `0.05`. Size of the compass, in percentage of the map size..

text_size

Default `1`. Text size.

bearing

Default `0`. Angle (in degrees) of north.

heightmap

Default `NULL`. The original height map. Pass this in to extract the dimensions of the resulting RGB image array automatically.

width

Default `NA`. Width of the resulting image array. Default the same dimensions as height map.

height

Default `NA`. Width of the resulting image array. Default the same dimensions as height map.

resolution_multiply

Default `1`. If passing in `heightmap` instead of width/height, amount to increase the resolution of the overlay, which should make lines/polygons finer. Should be combined with `add_overlay(rescale_original = TRUE)` to ensure those added details are captured in the final map.

color1

Default `white`. Primary color of the compass.

color2

Default `black`. Secondary color of the symcompass.

text_color

Default `black`. Text color.

border_color

Default `black`. Border color of the scale bar.

border_width

Default `1`. Width of the scale bar border.

halo_color

Default `NA`, no halo. If a color is specified, the compass will be surrounded by a halo of this color.

halo_expand

Default `1`. Number of pixels to expand the halo.

halo_alpha

Default `1`. Transparency of the halo.

halo_offset

Default `c(0,0)`. Horizontal and vertical offset to apply to the halo, in percentage of the image.

halo_blur

Default `1`. Amount of blur to apply to the halo. Values greater than `30` won't result in further blurring.
