Tanaka 
Also called "relief contours method", "illuminated contour method" or "shaded contour lines method", the Tanaka method1 enhances the representation of topography on a map by using shaded contour lines. The result is a 3D-like map.
This package is a simplified implementation of the Tanaka method, north-west white contours represent illuminated topography and south-east black contours represent shaded topography. Even if the results are quite satisfactory, a more refined method could be used based on the Kennelly and Kimerling's paper2.
tanaka is a small package with two functions:
tanaka()uses aterraobject and displays the map directly;tanaka_contour()builds the isopleth polygon layer.
The contour lines creation relies on mapiso,
spatial manipulation and display rely on sf.
Installation
From CRAN
r install.packages("tanaka")Development version on GitHub
r require(remotes) install_github("riatelab/tanaka")
Demo
This example is based on the dataset shipped within the package.
r library(tanaka) library(terra) ras <- rast(system.file("tif/elev.tif", package = "tanaka")) tanaka(ras, breaks = seq(80,400,20), legend.pos = "topright", legend.title = "Elevation\n(meters)")
This example is based on an elevation raster downloaded via
elevatr. ```r library(tanaka) library(elevatr) library(terra)use elevatr to get elevation data
ras <- getelevraster(locations = data.frame(x = c(6.7, 7), y = c(45.8,46)), z = 10, prj = "EPSG:4326", clip = "locations") ras <- rast(ras)
custom color palette
cols <- c("#F7E1C6", "#EED4C1", "#E5C9BE", "#DCBEBA", "#D3B3B6", "#CAA8B3", "#C19CAF", "#B790AB", "#AC81A7", "#A073A1", "#95639D", "#885497", "#7C4692", "#6B3D86", "#573775", "#433266", "#2F2C56", "#1B2847")
display the map
tanaka(ras, breaks = seq(500,4800,250), col = cols) ```
The last example illustrates the use of tanaka with non-topographical data. This map is based on the Global Human Settlement Population Grid (1km).
```r library(terra) library(sf) library(tanaka) library(mapsf)
