This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.7.1). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it’s best to always run the code in an empty environment.

The command set.seed(20241223) was run prior to running the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are reproducible.

Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.

Nice! There were no cached chunks for this analysis, so you can be confident that you successfully produced the results during this run.

Great job! Using relative paths to the files within your workflowr project makes it easier to run your code on other machines.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version 66f15ef. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:


Ignored files:
    Ignored:    .Rhistory
    Ignored:    .Rproj.user/

Untracked files:
    Untracked:  analysis/Basic_Operations_with_Raster_Data.Rmd
    Untracked:  analysis/Resources.Rmd

Unstaged changes:
    Modified:   analysis/Loading_Geospatial_Data_in_RStudio.Rmd
    Modified:   analysis/Understanding_Geospatial_Data.Rmd
    Modified:   analysis/_site.yml
    Deleted:    analysis/about.Rmd

Note that any generated files, e.g. HTML, png, CSS, etc., are not included in this status report because it is ok for generated content to have uncommitted changes.


These are the previous versions of the repository in which changes were made to the R Markdown (analysis/Introduction.Rmd) and HTML (docs/Introduction.html) files.

Welcome to this beginner-friendly tutorial on geospatial analysis using RStudio! This guide is designed to help you get familiar with RStudio, one of the most powerful open-source tools for working with geospatial data. Throughout this tutorial, you will learn how to handle both vector and raster data, perform essential geospatial operations, and create visually appealing maps. Whether you’re new to geospatial analysis or looking to enhance your skills, this tutorial will walk you through key tasks such as data manipulation, visualizations, and creating interactive maps, providing you with the foundational knowledge to confidently work with spatial data in RStudio.

Overview of Geospatial Analysis

Geospatial analysis involves the examination and interpretation of spatial data, which includes both the location and the attributes of objects on the Earth’s surface. This type of analysis allows us to answer questions related to the geographic distribution of features, patterns, and relationships between objects in space. Common tasks in geospatial analysis include mapping, spatial statistics, proximity analysis, and overlaying multiple layers of geographic data. By leveraging specialized tools and software, such as RStudio, analysts can visualize complex spatial data, perform measurements, and make data-driven decisions in fields ranging from urban planning to environmental conservation.

Why RStudio for Geospatial Work?

RStudio is a powerful, open-source integrated development environment (IDE) for R, which has become a popular tool for geospatial analysis due to its extensive support for spatial data manipulation and visualization. With the help of robust packages like sf (simple features), terra, dplyr, and ggplot2, RStudio provides a flexible platform to work with both vector and raster data. These packages allow users to easily import, analyze, visualize, and export geospatial data with minimal effort. Moreover, RStudio’s ability to integrate with other programming languages and its extensive library of statistical tools make it ideal for performing complex geospatial analyses, such as spatial modeling and spatial statistics. Its rich ecosystem and active community ensure that users can easily find resources and support, making RStudio a go-to choice for geospatial work.
