I have a dataset giving traffic between pairs of ports, and the
lat/lon of each port, roughly as follows:
sample data as follows
> df2VisitTrips[1:4,]
Origin Destination NumberOfTrips OriginLatitude OriginLongitude
DestinationLatitude DestinationLongitude
1 P1 P16 1 39.45965
-80.15633 40.76111 -79.54583
2 P1 P3 1 39.45965
-80.15633 39.58861 -79.98222
3 P102 P108 19 36.98210 -88.21597
37.19667 -88.84389
4 P102 P109 71 36.98210
-88.21597 37.09472 -89.13694
I am interested in plotting variable-width lines, based on
NumberOfTrips, between point pairs (OriginLongitude,OriginLatitude)
and (DestinationLongitude,DestinationLatititude), e.g. a flow map
between the ports. At some point, I may wish to add an underlay base
map (say counties in the US), but that is not critical at this time.
There seem to be many packages in R that deal with spatial data (sp,
maps, PBSMapping, etc.), but it is unclear to me which one would work
best for this application.
Any advice gratefully appreciated.
