I have seen similar questions but so far none that fit my needs (at least to the extent I understand them) so I will apologize in advance if this has already been answered. I am also kind of an R novice.
I have a data frame containing two sets of Lat/Lon in each row. The actual data contains hundreds of rows and many columns of related data. I am plotting the points for both sets of Lat/Lon and want to draw lines connecting each pair as a separate line. Here is an example of what the results should look like.

Here is a simplified example of the data. There will be duplicate Event and Location values.
Event_lat Event_lon Event Location Location_latitude Location_longitude

Here is a simplified sample of the code to map the points:
library(leaflet)
myData <-read.csv("Book1.csv",header=TRUE, sep=",")
leaflet()%>%
addTiles() %>%
addCircles(myData,lng = myData$lsr_lon,lat = myData$lsr_lat, radius=20, color = "red",group = "events") %>%
addCircles(myData,lng = myData$site_longitude,lat = myData$site_latitude, radius=20, color = "blue",group = 'Locations')
I myself am just starting with geographic use of R and leaflet, so this probably is not the most efficient way to approach this problem.. Nevertheless it is working fine for me...
Feedback is always welcome!

code
I want to create a spatiallines-object, that I can draw in leaflet with addPolylines
.
First, i want to create a data.frame with lat/lon only, with a unique id
per combination of event-location.
library(tidyverse)
#craete a column with unique id's per event-location combination
df <- df %>% mutate( id = row_number() )
#create a temporaty df with events
events.df <- df %>%
select( id, Event_lat, Event_lon) %>%
rename( latitude = Event_lat, longitude = Event_lon)
#create a temporaty df with locations
locations.df <- df %>%
select( id, Location_latitude, Location_longitude) %>%
rename( latitude = Location_latitude, longitude = Location_longitude)
#merge the two temp.df's together
df.sp <- bind_rows( events.df, locations.df )
# id latitude longitude
# 1 1 40.79115 -124.0540
# 2 2 38.90088 -122.6604
# 3 3 38.92149 -122.6000
# 4 4 38.92149 -122.6000
# 5 5 39.14188 -123.0447
# 6 6 38.92811 -122.6114
# 7 7 39.02361 -122.7220
# 8 8 38.87586 -122.8427
# 9 9 39.23993 -123.1455
# 10 10 39.33070 -123.2217
# 11 1 40.79096 -124.1826
# 12 2 38.87389 -122.7097
# 13 3 38.85111 -122.5933
# 14 4 38.85111 -122.5933
# 15 5 39.22794 -123.0647
# 16 6 38.98950 -122.7696
# 17 7 38.98950 -122.7696
# 18 8 38.98950 -122.7696
# 19 9 39.24139 -123.2164
# 20 10 39.24139 -123.2164
Now to create the spatialLines-object
library(maptools)
library(sp)
#make df.sp a spatialdataframe
coordinates( df.sp ) <- c( "longitude", "latitude" )
#create a list per id
id.list <- sp::split( df.sp, df.sp[["id"]] )
#initialisation of counter
id <- 1
#for each id, create a line that connects all points with that id
for ( i in id.list ) {
event.lines <- SpatialLines( list( Lines( Line( i[1]@coords ), ID = id ) ),
proj4string = CRS( "+init=epsg:4326" ) )
if ( id == 1 ) {
sp_lines <- event.lines
} else {
sp_lines <- spRbind( sp_lines, event.lines )
}
id <- id + 1
}
check.
head(sp_lines,1)
# An object of class "SpatialLines"
# Slot "lines":
# [[1]]
# An object of class "Lines"
# Slot "Lines":
# [[1]]
# An object of class "Line"
# Slot "coords":
# longitude latitude
# [1,] -124.0540 40.79115
# [2,] -124.1826 40.79096
#
# Slot "ID":
# [1] "1"
#
# Slot "bbox":
# min max
# x -124.18256 -124.05401
# y 40.79096 40.79115
#
# Slot "proj4string":
# CRS arguments:
# +init=epsg:4326 +proj=longlat +datum=WGS84 +no_defs +ellps=WGS84 +towgs84=0,0,0
Now, draw the points and the polylines in leaflet
library(leaflet)
leaflet()%>%
addTiles() %>%
addCircles(df,lng = df$Event_lon, lat = df$Event_lat, radius=20, color = "red", group = "events") %>%
addCircles(df,lng = df$Location_longitude, lat = df$Location_latitude, radius=20, color = "blue", group = 'Locations') %>%
addPolylines( data = sp_lines )
I propose a solution using library(sf)
and library(data.table)
, where sf
has superseeded sp
, and data.table
is used for efficient reshaping of data.
I am using the data provided by Wimpel in their solution.
Reshaping
Creating an sf
object is fairly straight forward. We need to create a LINESTRING
for each row of your data (as an sfg
object), then convert to sf
library(sf)
library(data.table)
setDT(df)
## create an 'id' / index value. This assumes each row of your data is a separate line.
df[, idx := .I]
## create an `sfc` column (where each row is an `sfg` object)
sf <- df[
, {
geometry <- sf::st_linestring(x = matrix(c(Event_lon, Event_lat, Location_longitude, Location_latitude), ncol = 2, byrow = T))
geometry <- sf::st_sfc(geometry)
geometry <- sf::st_sf(geometry = geometry)
}
, by = idx
]
## convert to sf
sf <- sf::st_as_sf(sf)
Plotting
With this sf
object you can now plot in leaflet (using similar code to Wimpel)
library(leaflet)
leaflet() %>%
addTiles() %>%
addPolylines(data = sf) %>%
addCircles(data = df, lng = ~Event_lon, lat = ~Event_lat, radius=20, color = "red", group = "events") %>%
addCircles(data = df, lng = ~Location_longitude, lat = ~Location_latitude, radius=20, color = "blue", group = 'Locations')
