  collapse = TRUE,
  comment = "#>"
)
```

This vignette will explore some of the more advanced mapping features of `usmap`. Before continuing, be sure to check out [Mapping the US](usmap2.html) as that will cover more of the basics of plotting US maps and styling them with `ggplot2`.

## Labels

As of `usmap 0.4.0`, maps with state labels can be created:

```{r, fig.align='center', fig.width=7, fig.height=5, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
usmap::plot_usmap("states", labels = TRUE)
```

`usmap 0.5.0` adds the ability to add county labels:

```{r, fig.align='center', fig.width=7, fig.height=5, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
usmap::plot_usmap("counties", include = c("MA", "CT", "RI"), labels = TRUE)
```

Labels can be colored using the `label_color` parameter:

```{r, fig.align='center', fig.width=7, fig.height=5, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
usmap::plot_usmap("counties",
                  include = c("MA", "CT", "RI"),
                  labels = TRUE, label_color = "blue")
```

## `ggplot2` aesthetic mapping parameters

Parameters used by the map's aesthetic mapping (`ggplot2::aes`) can be passed directly via `plot_usmap` by adding the parameters anywhere at the call site:

```{r, fig.align='center', fig.width=7, fig.height=5, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
usmap::plot_usmap("counties",
                  include = c("MA", "CT", "RI"),
                  labels = TRUE, label_color = "blue",
                  fill = "yellow", alpha = 0.25, color = "orange", linewidth = 2)
```

Notice in this case we set the `fill` and `alpha` parameters to fill in the counties with a semi-transparent yellow color.

The following parameters are supported:

-   `fill`: fill color of the state/county polygons
-   `alpha`: transparency of the state/county polygon fill colors
-   `color`/`colour`: line color of the state/county polygons
-   `linewidth`: thickness of the state/county polygon lines

## Transform data frames to match `usmap` projection

Data sets with longitude and latitude coordinates can be transformed to match the projection used in `usmap` (Albers Equal Area projection). This is convenient for plotting location-specific data and values using `ggplot2` layers such as `geom_point` and `geom_label`.

#### Projection

The projection used by `usmap` can also be accessed by using `usmap_crs()`:

```{r, warning=FALSE}
usmap::usmap_crs()
```

A convenience method called `usmap_transform` is provided that transforms a `data.frame` containing longitude/latitude columns to use this projection. (Currently, only `data.frame`s are supported. Other structures may be supported in the future.)

#### Example: earthquakes

Here is an example using the provided `earthquakes` dataset:

```{r, fig.align='center', fig.width=8, fig.height=5, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(usmap)
library(ggplot2)

eq_transformed <- usmap_transform(earthquakes)

plot_usmap() +
  geom_sf(data = eq_transformed, aes(size = mag),
          color = "red", alpha = 0.25) +
  labs(title = "US Earthquakes",
       subtitle = "Source: USGS, Jan 1 to Jun 30 2019",
       size = "Magnitude") +
  theme(legend.position = "right")
```

#### Example: most populous city in each state

And a more comprehensive example using the provided `citypop` data set:

```{r fig.align='center', fig.height=5, fig.width=8, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(usmap)
library(ggplot2)

cities_t <- usmap_transform(citypop)

plot_usmap(fill = "yellow", alpha = 0.25) +
  geom_sf(data = cities_t,
          aes(size = city_pop),
          color = "purple", alpha = 0.5) +
  ggrepel::geom_label_repel(data = cities_t,
                            aes(label = most_populous_city, geometry = geometry),
                            size = 3, alpha = 0.8,
                            label.r = unit(0.5, "lines"), label.size = 0.5,
                            segment.color = "red", segment.size = 1,
                            stat = "sf_coordinates", seed = 1002,
                            max.overlaps = 20) +
  scale_size_continuous(range = c(1, 16),
                        label = scales::comma) +
  labs(title = "Most Populous City in Each US State",
       subtitle = "Source: US Census 2010",
       size = "City Population") +
  theme(legend.position = "right")
```

#### Example: major rivers in the United States

Here is an example of transforming and plotting another `sf` object on the map,
using the provided `rivers` dataset. In this example the width of the river
corresponds to its length, and the color indicates the river system it belongs
to.

```{r fig.align='center', fig.height=5, fig.width=8, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(usmap)
library(ggplot2)

rivers_t <- usmap_transform(usrivers)

plot_usmap("counties", color = "gray80") + 
  geom_sf(data = rivers_t, aes(linewidth = Shape_Length, color = SYSTEM, fill = SYSTEM)) + 
  scale_linewidth_continuous(range = c(0.3, 1.8), guide = "none") +
  scale_color_discrete(guide = "none") +
  labs(title = "Major Rivers in the United States",
       subtitle = "Source: ESRI 2010",
       fill = "River System") +
  theme(legend.position = "right")
```

<hr>

The `usmap_transform` function, combined with the power of `ggplot2` layers can allow for some very unique and complex data visualizations on the US map. The `usmap_transform` function also handles transforming points in the Alaska/Hawaii area so that they are appropriately displayed on their respective states.
