Add vector tiles stored as PMTiles in an AWS S3 bucket to a leaflet map.

Add point data stored as PMTiles

Add polylines stored as PMTiles

Usage

addPMPolygons(
  map,
  url,
  style,
  layerId = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  pane = "overlayPane",
  attribution = NULL
)

addPMPoints(
  map,
  url,
  style,
  layerId = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  pane = "overlayPane",
  attribution = NULL
)

addPMPolylines(
  map,
  url,
  style,
  layerId = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  pane = "overlayPane",
  attribution = NULL
)

Arguments

map: the map to add to.
url: the url to the tiles to be served.
style: styling for the layer. See paintRules for details.
layerId: the layer id.
group: group name.
pane: the map pane to which the layer should be added. See [leaflet](addMapPane) for details.
attribution: optional attribution character string.

Details

These functions can be used to add cloud optimized vector tiles data in the `.pmtiles` format stored in an Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 bucket to a leaflet map. For instructions on how to create these files, see https://github.com/protomaps/PMTiles.

NOTE: You may not see the tiles rendered in the RStudio viewer pane. Make sure to open the map in a browser.

Functions

addPMPoints(): add points stored as PMTiles
addPMPolylines(): add ploylines stored as PMTiles

Examples

## PMPolygons
library(leaflet)
library(leafem)

url_nzb = "https://vector-tiles-data.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/nz-building-outlines.pmtiles"

leaflet() %>%
  addTiles() %>%
  addPMPolygons(
    url = url_nzb
    , layerId = "nzbuildings"
    , group = "nzbuildings"
    , style = paintRules(
      layer = "nz-building-outlines"
      , fillColor = "pink"
      , stroke = "green"
    )
  ) %>%
  setView(173.50, -40.80, 6)


## PMPoints
library(leaflet)
library(leafem)

url_depoints = "https://vector-tiles-data.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/depoints.pmtiles"

leaflet() %>%
  addTiles() %>%
  addPMPoints(
    url = url_depoints
    , layerId = "depoints"
    , group = "depoints"
    , style = paintRules(
      layer = "depoints"
      , fillColor = "black"
      , stroke = "white"
      , radius = 4
    )
  ) %>%
  setView(10, 51, 6)


## PMPolylines
library(leaflet)
library(leafem)

url_rivers = "https://vector-tiles-data.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/rivers_africa.pmtiles"

## NOTE: these will only render until a zoom level of 7!!
leaflet() %>%
  addTiles() %>%
  addPMPolylines(
    url = url_rivers
    , layerId = "rivers"
    , group = "rivers"
    , style = paintRules(
      layer = "rivers_africa"
      , color = "blue"
    )
  ) %>%
  setView(24, 2.5, 4)
