The `aus_temp` dataset includes key climate variables, such as precipitation and temperature, recorded at 29 different weather stations throughout 2020. ```{r} head(aus_temp) |> kable() |> kable_styling() ``` Using the default rescaling parameters, we can visualize the temperature data through `geom_glyph_segment()`, alongside `geom_point()` elements that mark the location of each weather station. Each segment glyph represents local climate data, offering an intuitive way to explore temperature variations across Australia. The default `identity` scaling function is applied to each set of minor values within a grid cell. This method centers the glyphs both vertically and horizontally based on the station's coordinates and adjusts the minor axes to fit within the interval [-1, 1]. This ensures that the glyphs are appropriately sized to fit the desired dimensions. In this example, we will also be specifying the size of the glyph by specifying the size of the width and height of the glyph. ```{r} aus_temp |> ggplot(aes( x_major = long, y_major = lat, x_minor = month, y_minor = tmin, yend_minor = tmax)) + geom_sf(data = abs_ste, fill = "antiquewhite", inherit.aes = FALSE, color = "white") + coord_sf(xlim = c(110,155)) + # Add glyph box to each glyph add_glyph_boxes( width = 3, height = 2) + # Add points for weather station geom_point(aes(x = long, y = lat, color = "Weather Station")) + # Customize the size of each glyph box using the width and height parameters. geom_glyph_segment( width = 3, height = 2, aes(color = "Temperature")) + # Theme and aesthetic scale_color_manual( values = c("Weather Station" = "firebrick", "Temperature" = "black")) + labs(color = "Data", title = "Daily Temperature Variations Across Australian Weather Stations") + theme_glyph() ``` By disabling global rescaling, we can see the effects of local rescaling, where each glyph is resized based on its individual values. - **Local Rescale (global_rescale = FALSE)**: Each line segment's length is determined by the local temperature range within a region, emphasizing regional differences in temperature patterns. - **Global Rescale (global_rescale = TRUE)**: Global temperature range determined the length of each line segment, ensuring that data range remain consistent across all region for easy comparison. Below is a comparison of the two rescaling approaches. In this example, we also specify the size of the glyphs by setting width = 3 and height = 2. ```{r, fig.height = 6} # Global rescale p1 <- aus_temp |> ggplot(aes( x_major = long, y_major = lat, x_minor = month, y_minor = tmin, yend_minor = tmax)) + geom_sf(data = abs_ste, fill = "antiquewhite", inherit.aes = FALSE, color = "white") + coord_sf(xlim = c(110,155)) + # Add glyph box to each glyph add_glyph_boxes(width = 3, height = 2) + # Add reference lines to each glyph add_ref_lines(width = 3, height = 2) + # Glyph segment plot with global rescale geom_glyph_segment(global_rescale = TRUE, width = 3, height = 2) + labs(title = "Global Rescale") + theme_glyph() # Local Rescale p2 <- aus_temp |> ggplot(aes( x_major = long, y_major = lat, x_minor = month, y_minor = tmin, yend_minor = tmax)) + geom_sf(data = abs_ste, fill = "antiquewhite", inherit.aes = FALSE, color = "white") + coord_sf(xlim = c(110,155)) + # Add glyph box to each glyph add_glyph_boxes(width = 3, height = 2) + # Add reference lines to each glyph add_ref_lines(width = 3, height = 2) + # Glyph segment plot with local rescale geom_glyph_segment(global_rescale = FALSE, width = 3, height = 2) + labs(title = "Local Rescale") + theme_glyph() grid.arrange(p1, p2, ncol = 2) ``` #### Highlighting Temperature Changes with Color-Coded Glyph Expanding on our temperature analysis, we now incorporate precipitation data across Australia using `geom_glyph_ribbon()`. The glyphs are color-coded to represent varying levels of rainfall, with reference lines and glyph boxes enhancing clarity and allow for easy comparison of precipitation level across the country. ```{r} aus_temp |> group_by(id) |> mutate(prcp = mean(prcp, na.rm = TRUE)) |> ggplot(aes(x_major = long, y_major = lat, x_minor = month, ymin_minor = tmin, ymax_minor = tmax, fill = prcp, color = prcp)) + geom_sf(data = abs_ste, fill = "antiquewhite", inherit.aes = FALSE, color = "white") + # Add glyph box to each glyph add_glyph_boxes() + # Add ref line to each glyph add_ref_lines() + # Add glyph ribbon plots geom_glyph_ribbon() + coord_sf(xlim = c(112,155)) + # Theme and aesthetic theme_glyph() + scale_fill_gradientn(colors = c("#ADD8E6", "#2b5e82", "dodgerblue4")) + scale_color_gradientn(colors = c( "#ADD8E6", "#2b5e82", "dodgerblue4")) + labs(fill = "Percepitation", color = "Percepitation", title = "Precipitation and Temperature Ranges Across Australia") ``` If you're interested in comparing temperature trends across different years for specific regions in Victoria, `geom_glyph_ribbon()` provides a way to visualize how temperatures have evolved over time, with each year distinguished by a different color for clarity. ```{r} historical_temp |> filter(id %in% c("ASN00026021", "ASN00085291", "ASN00084143")) |> ggplot(aes(color = factor(year), fill = factor(year), group = interaction(year,id), x_major = long, y_major = lat, x_minor = month, ymin_minor = tmin, ymax_minor = tmax)) + geom_sf(data = abs_ste |> filter(NAME == "Victoria"), fill = "antiquewhite", color = "white", inherit.aes = FALSE) + # Customized the dimension of each glyph with `width` and `height` parameters add_glyph_boxes(width = rel(2), height = rel(1.5)) + add_ref_lines(width = rel(2), height = rel(1.5)) + geom_glyph_ribbon(alpha = 0.5, width = rel(2), height = rel(1.5)) + labs(x = "Longitude", y = "Latitude", color = "year", fill = "year", title = "Temperature Trends in Selected Victorian Weather Stations") + # Theme and aesthetic theme_glyph() + theme(legend.position.inside = c(.4,0)) + scale_colour_wsj("colors6") + scale_fill_wsj("colors6") ``` #### Integrating Glyph Legends To further enhance map readability, the `add_geom_legend()` function integrates a larger version of one of the glyphs into the bottom left corner of the plot. This legend helps users interpret the scale of the data. In the example below, a series of glyph are created using `geom_glyph_ribbon()` and overlaid on a base map to depict daily temperature variations across Australian weather stations. A legend is added through `add_glyph_legend()`, allowing users to easily interpret the range of daily temperature value based on a randomly selected weather station. Since the legend data is drawn from a single, randomly chosen station, it's important for users to set a seed for reproducibility to ensure consistent results. ```{r, fig.height=6} set.seed(28493) aus_temp |> ggplot(aes(x_major = long, y_major = lat, x_minor = month, ymin_minor = tmin, ymax_minor = tmax)) + geom_sf(data = abs_ste, fill = "antiquewhite", inherit.aes = FALSE, color = "white") + add_glyph_boxes(color = "#227B94") + add_ref_lines(color = "#227B94") + add_glyph_legend(color = "#227B94", fill = "#227B94") + # Add a ribbon legend geom_glyph_ribbon(color = "#227B94", fill = "#227B94") + theme_glyph() + labs(title = "Temperature Ranges Across Australia with Glyph Legend") ``` #### Observations and Insights Both the Geom Glyph Segment and Geom Glyph Ribbon provide valuable insights into seasonal temperature trends across Australia. Disabling global rescaling reveals that most weather stations follow similar curvature trends relative to their neighboring stations. However, with global rescaling enabled, it becomes apparent that coastal regions exhibit far less temperature variation overall.
