## What is mapdeck?
An R library which lets you plot large data sets (as much as your GPU &
browser can handle), on interactive maps using Mapbox GL and Deck.gl
## What is mapbox?
> Mapbox is the location data platform for mobile and web applications. We provide building blocks to add location features like maps, search, and navigation into any experience you create.

## What is deck.gl?
> deck.gl is a WebGL-powered framework for visual exploratory data analysis of large datasets.

## How do I use it?
First you need to install it, either from CRAN
```r
install.packages("mapdeck")
```
Or from github (to get the latest development version)
```r
remotes::install_github("SymbolixAU/mapdeck")
```
If the github version fails to install, you'll probably need to update dependencies first
```r
remotes::install_github("dcooley/geometries")
remotes::install_github("dcooley/sfheaders")
remotes::install_github("SymbolixAU/spatialwidget")
```
Then everything you need to know to get you started is on the [home page](https://symbolixau.github.io/mapdeck/articles/mapdeck.html)
## Quick Start
Mapdeck uses [Mapbox maps](https://www.mapbox.com/), and to use Mapbox you need an [access token](https://docs.mapbox.com/help/how-mapbox-works/access-tokens/).
Once you've generate a token you can use their maps.
Call `mapdeck(token = 'your_token')` to generate a basic map. Then start adding layers by using one of the various `add_*()` functions.
```r
url <- 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/2011_february_aa_flight_paths.csv'
flights <- read.csv(url)
flights$info <- paste0("<b>",flights$airport1, " - ", flights$airport2, "</b>")
mapdeck(token = key, style = mapdeck_style('dark')) %>%
add_arc(
data = flights
, origin = c("start_lon", "start_lat")
, destination = c("end_lon", "end_lat")
, stroke_from = "airport1"
, stroke_to = "airport2"
, tooltip = "info"
, layer_id = 'arclayer'
)
```
See the [Layers](https://symbolixau.github.io/mapdeck/articles/layers.html) page for more examples
## Getting help
For general help and advice the best place to ask is on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/mapdeck) (using the `mapdeck` tag).
If you've found a bug, or want a new feature added then use the [issue tracker](https://github.com/SymbolixAU/mapdeck/issues) on github.
I don't respond to emails asking for help because this is an open source package, and any advice should be kept open so everyone can benefit. (unless you want to pay me!)
