addMovingMarker {leaflet.extras2}

Add Moving Markers

Description

The function expects either line or point data as spatial data or as Simple Feature. Alternatively, coordinates can also be passed as numeric vectors.

Usage

addMovingMarker(
  map,
  lng = NULL,
  lat = NULL,
  layerId = NULL,
  group = NULL,
  duration = 2000,
  icon = NULL,
  popup = NULL,
  popupOptions = NULL,
  label = NULL,
  labelOptions = NULL,
  movingOptions = movingMarkerOptions(),
  options = leaflet::markerOptions(),
  data = leaflet::getMapData(map)
)

Arguments

map

the map to add moving markers

lng

a numeric vector of longitudes, or a one-sided formula of the form ~x where x is a variable in data; by default (if not explicitly provided), it will be automatically inferred from data by looking for a column named lng, long, or longitude (case-insensitively)

lat

a vector of latitudes or a formula (similar to the lng argument; the names lat and latitude are used when guessing the latitude column from data)

layerId

In order to be able to address the moving markings individually, a layerId is required. If none is specified, one is created that is derived from the current timestamp.

group

the name of the group the newly created layers should belong to (for clearGroup and addLayersControl purposes). Human-friendly group names are permitted–they need not be short, identifier-style names. Any number of layers and even different types of layers (e.g. markers and polygons) can share the same group name.

duration

Duration in milliseconds per line segment between 2 points. Can be a vector or a single number. Default is 1000

icon

the icon(s) for markers;

popup

a character vector of the HTML content for the popups (you are recommended to escape the text using htmlEscape() for security reasons)

popupOptions

A Vector of popupOptions to provide popups

label

a character vector of the HTML content for the labels

labelOptions

A Vector of labelOptions to provide label options for each label. Default NULL

movingOptions

a list of extra options for moving markers. See movingMarkerOptions

options

a list of extra options for markers. See markerOptions

data

the data object from which the argument values are derived; by default, it is the data object provided to leaflet() initially, but can be overridden

Value

the new map object
