crhexgrids: hierarchical hexagonal geospatial grids for Costa Rica

crhexgrids

The goal of crhexgrids is to provides a hierarchical geospatial hexagonal grid indexing system for Costa Rica

Hexagonal grid resolution are 5, 6, 7, 8 y 9 (based in H3)

Installation

You can install the development version of crhexgrids from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ManuelSpinola/crhexgrids")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to use crhexgrids:

library(tidyverse)
library(sf)
library(crhexgrids)

ggplot(cr_hex_grid_res_5) +
  geom_sf(fill = "dodgerblue3", color = "gray") +
  theme_minimal()

Figure 1. Hexagonal grid of resolution 5 for Costa Rica.

ggplot(cr_hex_grid_res_6) +
  geom_sf(fill = "dodgerblue3", color = "gray") +
  theme_minimal()

Figure 2. Hexagonal grid of resolution 6 for Costa Rica.

ggplot(cr_hex_grid_res_7) +
  geom_sf(fill = "dodgerblue3", color = "gray") +
  theme_minimal()

Figure 3. Hexagonal grid of resolution 7 for Costa Rica.

Figure 4. Hierarchical hexagonal grids of resolution 5, 6, 7, 8. Every hexagonal cell has seven child cells below it in this hierarchy.
