[R-sig-Geo] Plotting 2 rasters over each other on a map with 2D colour scheme

2016-09-22 Thread Vasya Pupkin via R-sig-Geo
Hi guys, What I am trying to do is to make a map that would show the areas which are hot-dry, hot-wet, cold-dry, cold-wet. I have 2 rasters with precipitation and temperature values. And I want to plot them over each other so that each extreme combination of the 2 variables (hot-dry, hot-wet, c

Hi Vasya To some extent this is more a visualisation question than a geospatial question but is interesting because it's common to want to plot 2 variables together. Your question comes at a good time because there has recently been published a package for solving precisely this problem: *colorspa

Another way of visualising two values per pixel is to vary two of Hue, Luminance, and Saturation. You can even use all three if you have three variables! Note that Hue is a circular variable, and in the example I saw it was being used to map the seasonal peak of rainfall, so a circular variable wa

Dear All, Thank you very much for all your very valuable inputs. Thanks to them now I know how the approach is called, It is "bivariate color mapping" just google that and you will get tonns of information. This guide below is the most comprehenvise I have come across: http://www.joshuastevens
