ggOceanMaps: Plot Data on Oceanographic Maps using 'ggplot2'
Allows plotting data on bathymetric maps using 'ggplot2'. Plotting
oceanographic spatial data is made as simple as feasible, but also flexible
for custom modifications. Data that contain geographic information from
anywhere around the globe can be plotted on maps generated by the basemap()
or qmap() functions using 'ggplot2' layers separated by the '+' operator. The
package uses spatial shape- ('sf') and raster ('stars') files, geospatial
packages for R to manipulate, and the 'ggplot2' package to plot these
files. The package ships with low-resolution spatial data files and
higher resolution files for detailed maps are stored in the
'ggOceanMapsLargeData' repository on GitHub and downloaded automatically
when needed.
