利用R语言绘制世界航班路线图

作者简介Introduction

一、 简介

本文基于NASA的夜间地图（https://www.nasa.gov/specials/blackmarble/2016/globalmaps/BlackMarble_2016_01deg.jpg）的基础上进行世界航班路线可视化，参考多篇博客以及可视化案例。

1. 包加载

本博客使用的包较多，利用pacman包里的p_load()函数进行加载

library(pacman)

p_load(tidyverse, data.table, geosphere, grid, jpeg, plyr)

2. 数据准备

使用的数据来自于OpenFlights.org（https://openflights.org/data.html）。

3.数据下载

download.file("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jpatokal/openflights/master/data/airlines.dat",destfile = "airlines.dat", mode = "wb")

download.file("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jpatokal/openflights/master/data/airports.dat",destfile = "airports.dat", mode = "wb")

download.file("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jpatokal/openflights/master/data/routes.dat",destfile = "routes.dat", mode = "wb")

4.数据导入

airlines

airports

routes

5. 数据整理

#添加列名

colnames(airlines)

colnames(airports)

colnames(routes)

#类型转换

routes$airline_id

# airlines与routes数据融合

flights

# flights与airports数据融合

airports_orig

colnames(airports_orig)

airports_dest

colnames(airports_dest)

flights

flights

#剔除缺失值

flights

#最后数据如下

head(flights[,c(1:5)])

6. 下面就是准备地理信息数据

本文主要是可视化地理信息上的点与点之间的连接，这可以通过geosphere包里的函数gcIntermediate()很轻松实现。具体使用方法可以参考这里（http://flowingdata.com/2011/05/11/how-to-map-connections-with-great-circles/）。

# 按航空公司拆分数据集

flights_split

# Calculate intermediate points between each two locations

flights_all

# 转换为数据框

flights_fortified

# Unsplit lists

flights_fortified

# Add and clean column with airline names

flights_fortified$name

flights_fortified$name

# Extract first and last observations for plotting source and destination points (i.e., airports)

flights_points %

group_by(group) %>%

filter(row_number() == 1 | row_number() == n())

二、 可视化

接下来就是进行可视化了，前面讲了我们只是在NASA提供的夜间地球图上面进行数据映射，所以第一我们需要获取该背景地图。

1. 图片获取并渲染

#下载图片

download.file("https://www.nasa.gov/specials/blackmarble/2016/globalmaps/BlackMarble_2016_01deg.jpg",destfile = "BlackMarble_2016_01deg.jpg", mode = "wb")

#加载并渲染图片

2. 数据映射

由于航空公司十分多，就挑选几个有名的航空公司进行可视化。
