Day 10: Code readability!

Are you making life harder for yourself in R? Or are you using rainbow parentheses and highlighted functions!?

Which one does your code look like?

So if you're curious about GIS or just starting with spatial epi data? Check out Chapter 28 for a deep dive into concepts, code, and examples: www.epirhandbook.com/en/new_pages...

And don’t forget to experiment with mapview. Probably the easiest map you'll ever make.

Under the hood of mapview is Leaflet rstudio.github.io/leaflet/. Which is a bit more complex but a lot more powerful. In the chapter, we guide you through how to:

📂 Load spatial data
🗺️ Create static maps
🌐 Build interactive maps
📊 Perform basic spatial analyses

We use mapview to:

Pinpoint where our spatial data is located. 📍
Save interactive maps as HTML files to share with colleagues. 🌐
Quickly explore patterns and trends in spatial data. 🔍

GIS doesn’t have to be daunting, tools like mapview make mapping simple and accessible for everyone! 🚀
