How would one convert leaflet map to a static plot and then save it as pdf?,
I have createa a large leaflet map, that has over 150 MB, using mapshot
does not work because it is very large. Now I think that better approach is to convert it to static plot and then save it
I provided example:
library(leaflet)
library(tidyverse)
set.seed(101)
URL2 <- "https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/gadm3.6/Rsp/gadm36_FRA_2_sp.rds"
data2 <- readRDS(url(URL2))
URL3 <- "https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/gadm3.6/Rsp/gadm36_ESP_2_sp.rds"
data3 <- readRDS(url(URL3))
URL4 <- "https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/gadm3.6/Rsp/gadm36_PRT_2_sp.rds"
data4 <- readRDS(url(URL4))
URL5 <- "https://biogeo.ucdavis.edu/data/gadm3.6/Rsp/gadm36_GBR_2_sp.rds"
data5 <- readRDS(url(URL5))
random_long_lat <-
data.frame(
long = sample(runif(300, min = -2.5, max = 15.99), replace = F),
lat = sample(runif(300, min = 42.69, max = 59.75), replace = F)
)
all <- rbind(data2, data3, data4, data5)
all@data <-
all@data %>%
mutate(counts = rnorm(nrow(all), 100, sd = 20))
cuts <- c(0, 5, 20, 40, 80, 150, max(all@data$counts))
cuts <- colorBin("Greens", domain = all$counts, bins = cuts)
m <-
leaflet() %>%
addProviderTiles("CartoDB.Positron") %>%
addPolygons(data=all, stroke = TRUE, color = "white", weight="", smoothFactor = 0.95,
fillOpacity = 0.65, fillColor = ~cuts(all$counts)) %>%
addLegend(pal = cuts,
values = all$counts,
labFormat = labelFormat(suffix = ""),
opacity = 0.85, title = "How many point were counted in each region", position = "topright")
I would like to convert map m
to static map, and then save it as pdf, however is it possible to still have background maps from providers in saved pdf?
