How to move the compass arrow and scale bar off of the plot when using tmap in R?-CodePudding

I am using the tmap package to plot some data on a map. Because of the size of the datasets,

CodePudding user response：

You can also use inner margins to place legends and attributes outside.

data(World)
qtm(World, 
    fill = "economy")  
    tm_layout(inner.margins = c(0.02, 0.02, 0.02, 0.3))  
    tm_compass(size = 3, type = 'rose')  
    tm_scale_bar(size = 0.5)

(This will be different (easier) in tmap4)

CodePudding user response：

With the packages you have loaded, you can move the compass and scale_bar attributes outside of the map within tm_layout(). I can't quite position it under the legend. I am using the tmap World data here

data(World, rivers, metro)
qtm(World, 
    fill = "economy")  
  tm_layout(legend.outside = T, frame = FALSE, attr.outside=TRUE, attr.position = c(.9, 0) )  
  tm_compass(size = 3, type = 'rose')  
  tm_scale_bar(size = 0.5)
