This was actually a deliberate choice as for a single map it doesn't really make sense to have a legend for only one color. However, for latticeView/sync this does actually make sense, hence re-enabled. mapview 2.1.0 new features: - plainview/cubeview now respects/has gained argument na.color. - mapview now supports st_GEOMETRY with truly mixed feature types (e.g. LINESTRING and POLYGON) - fixes #85 - addFeatures(): one function to add them all. Type agnostic version of leaflet::add* functions for simple features objects. - mapview (for vector data only) has gained argument na.alpha to control opacity of missing values. bugfixes: - deleted obsolete data.table import. - fixed #79: colnames of popup Tables are now converted to utf-8. - fixed #78: respect explicit setting of 'layer.name' argument. - included NEWS file as R-help doesn't render NEWS.md - highlight now respects alpha/alpha.regions = 0 mapview 2.0.1 new features: - addMouseCoordinates has gained argument 'style' to specify whether to show 'basic' (lat, lon, zoom) or 'detailed' (x, y, epsg, proj4, lat, lon, zoom) information. Factory-fresh default is 'detailed'. - addLogo has gained argument 'alpha' to set the opacity of the image. - Someone draws quickest... - added new method for list of objects so that we can do mapview(list(x, y, z)) which is great for computational outputs such as lapply. - slideView has gained arguments 'label1' and 'label2' to supply slider names for the respective images, img1 and img2. - new popup layout (making more use of the space available). - added new function addLargeFeatures to render large datasets of up to ~100k features which is used automatically. To lower/elevate the threshold use maxpoints = ... (See ?mapview for details). - mapview methods for all basic sf classes (XY/sfg, sfc, sf) - added support for sf to "+" - we can now render features/objects with arbitrary CRS (without map background) by setting 'native.crs = TRUE'. - mapview will now decide which default base map to use based on average luminence of rendered colors. - mapview now provides subtle highlighting of polygons (changing opacity slightly) and lines (changing thickness). - plainView, slideView and cubeView have gained argument legend. default is TRUE. Legends only available for non-RGB methods! - new data sets: - 'franconia' (administrative district boundaries of Franconia) - 'breweries' (extended version of the 'breweries91' data) - 'trails' (selected hiking trails in franconia to connect the breweries) - data sets 'breweries91', 'gadmCHE' and 'atlStorms2005' have been deleted and moved to leaflet. bugfixes: - sync, addMouseCoordinates and addLogo did not work anymore. Now fixed thanks to @timelyportfolio changes: - MAJOR internal change: All vector data are now processed as sf objects internally. This also means that objects returned in slot @object will be of class sf (regardless of input class). - polygons and points now have a darkish gray line frame (unless add*LargeFeatures is used - where the overhead of passing two sets of colors would be too high). - updated examples (in line with new data). - github repository moved from https://github.com/environmentalinformatics-marburg/mapview to https://github.com/r-spatial/mapview mapview 1.2.0 new features: - garnishMap: function to add multiple decoration elements, such as leaflet::addLayersControl or addHomeButton to a map (mainly for internal use). - addHomeButton: add a zoom-to-layer button to a map. - addLogo: add an image to a map. - plainview now shows CRS and dimension info. bugfixes: - na.color was not respected for Raster* and SpatialPiXelsDF. - removed lat and lon entries in popupTable for polygons as we now have mousecoordinates. - for raster objects the legend did not respect the intervals specified by 'at'. - mapview working again for objects with no projection (NA). - mapview for SPoints* with only one point did through an error #36. mapview 1.1.0 new features: - addMouseCoordinates: add cursor position information to mapview or leaflet map. (thanks to Kent Russell). - if available from leaflet version, a scalebar is added to the map. - latticeView: view mapview or leaflet maps as small multiples and sync some, all or none (thanks to Kent Russell). - sync: synchronise two or more leaflet maps (thanks to Kenton Russell). - mapshot: to save maps as html page or static image or both. - knitr integration (i.e. no need to call the @map slot anymore to render in knitr). - cubeView: view raster bricks or stacks hovmoeller style, use keys up & down, left & right, page up & page down to navigate through y, x, z dimensions, respectively. - labels: if zcol is set, mouseover will now show the respective values of zcol, if zcol is not set moseover shows feature ID. Only available if suitable leaflet package version is installed. - new popup functions popupTable, popupGraph and popupImage. - functions to turn coordinates into spatial lines or spatial polygons. - mapview objects now work natively on shiny applications (i.e. renderMapview and mapviewOutput now available). - "zcol = Var" in combination with burst = TRUE now plots one layer for each unique value of the variable supplied to zcol. changes: - spplot method has been removed. - colors: viridis based colors now default if viridisLite package is available. - basemaps: new default basemap is "CartoDB.Positron" as colors of features are better visible on the grey background. - layer names now include the name of the object they originate from (e.g. "meuse lead" instead of "lead"). bugfixes: - if attribute was of class "character" mapview did through an error if passed to zcol. - user provided layer names were not respected when zcol was set.
