Map visualization

Maps in TALD are generated automatically based on the value columns.

As explained in Feature datasets, you can have multiple value columns in order to generate different maps. You can use both nominal and numeric values.

Keep in mind that a large number of values is difficult to perceive, do not use more than 5 values on one map.

If you want, you can experiment with map visualizations by yourself using the lingtypology (see the documentation) and RCaucTile (see the documentation) packages for R. It is also possible to use the Python version named PyCaucTile (see the documentation).

Here is the simple code that will visualise your data:

library(tidyverse)
library(gsheet)
library(RCaucTile)

"link to your google sheet with data" |> 
  gsheet2tbl() |> 
  ec_tile_map(feature_column = "value1") # change to value2 if needed
