I’ve been getting interested in plotting electoral data onto maps — and as a result have been looking at how combinations of information might explain the results of the 2019 election.
To do so, i have been plotting the booth-by-booth results onto a map, as well as data from other information sources. This was tricky initially, but once you get the knack it makes a lot of sense (in that Hadley Wickham way).
The key is moving the data = XYZ bit from inside the leaflet() function to the first argument of the addCircleMarkers() function.
The other trick to note below is that I set the bins for the colorBin function manually. This is necessary, as the mid point of the range is not zero.
Building on my earlier single-layer maps example, in this case we have the location of mines and the two-party-preferred election 2019 results by polling booth.
