R6 class to display Earth Engine (EE) spatial objects

Create interactive visualizations of spatial EE objects (ee$Geometry, ee$Image, ee$Feature, and ee$FeatureCollection) using leaflet.

Value

Object of class leaflet and EarthEngineMap, with the following extra parameters: tokens, name, opacity, shown, min, max, palette, position, and legend. Use the $ method to retrieve the data (e.g., m$rgee$min).

Details

R6Map uses the Earth Engine method getMapId to fetch and return an ID dictionary used to create layers in a leaflet object. Users can specify visualization parameters to Map$addLayer by using the visParams argument. Each Earth Engine spatial object has a specific format. For ee$Image, the parameters available are:

Parameter	Description	Type
bands	Comma-delimited list of three band (RGB)	list
min	Value(s) to map to 0	number or list of three numbers, one for each band
max	Value(s) to map to 1	number or list of three numbers, one for each band
gain	Value(s) by which to multiply each pixel value	number or list of three numbers, one for each band
bias	Value(s) to add to each Digital Number value	number or list of three numbers, one for each band
gamma	Gamma correction factor(s)	number or list of three numbers, one for each band
palette	List of CSS-style color strings (single-band only)	comma-separated list of hex strings
opacity	The opacity of the layer (from 0 to 1)	number

If you add an ee$Image to Map$addLayer without any additional parameters. By default it assigns the first three bands to red, green, and blue bands, respectively. The default stretch is based on the min-max range. On the other hand, the available parameters for ee$Geometry, ee$Feature, and ee$FeatureCollection are:

color: A hex string in the format RRGGBB specifying the color to use for drawing the features. By default #000000.
pointRadius: The radius of the point markers. By default 3.
strokeWidth: The width of lines and polygon borders. By default 3.

Public fields

lon: The longitude of the center, in degrees.
lat: The latitude of the center, in degrees.
zoom: The zoom level, from 1 to 24.
save_maps: Should R6Map save the previous maps?. If TRUE, Map will work in an OOP style. Otherwise it will be a functional programming style.
previous_map_left: Container on maps in the left side.
previous_map_right: Container on maps in the right side.
