Description:
This course will cover an introduction to R, how to load and manage spatial data and how to create maps using R. We will look at appropriate ways of using classifications for choropleth maps, using loops in R to create multiple maps and some basic spatial analysis. We will be using RStudio to work with the R environment.
By the end of the course you will be able to load data into R, represent it effectively and be able to prepare an output quality map. This course is for you if you have some experience of working with spatial data (e.g. in ArcGIS, MapInfo or QGIS) and want to learn how to manage spatial data in R/RStudio. No experience of R, scripting or coding is required.
