Interactive Maps with 'Mapbox GL JS' and 'MapLibre GL JS'

Provides an interface to the 'Mapbox GL JS' (< https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/guides>) and the 'MapLibre GL JS' (< https://maplibre.org/maplibre-gl-js/docs/>) interactive mapping libraries to help users create custom interactive maps in R. Users can create interactive globe visualizations; layer 'sf' objects to create filled maps, circle maps, 'heatmaps', and three-dimensional graphics; and customize map styles and views. The package also includes utilities to use 'Mapbox' and 'MapLibre' maps in 'Shiny' web applications.

mapgl

The mapgl R package makes the latest versions of Mapbox GL JS and MapLibre GL JS available to R users. The package interface is designed to make the powerful capabilities of both libraries available in R mapping projects, but also feel similar to users coming from other R mapping packages.

Install from CRAN:

install.packages("mapgl")
