The facts
Each one read from Vizumap's own pages, with the date it was checked.
What it does
- Animated maps
- Pixel maps can be animated across sampled values; areas with high uncertainty flicker more visibly than areas with low uncertainty.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Animation
- Pixel maps can be animated, with high uncertainty appearing as visible flickering and low uncertainty appearing almost static.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Bivariate maps
- Bivariate maps blend colors for estimates and uncertainty into a 3×3 color grid, with each geographic area shown in one color.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Citation
- The makers ask users who make or publish a map with Vizumap to cite Lucchesi et al. (2021), published in the Journal of Open Source Software.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Contributions
- The project provides contribution guidelines and a Contributor Code of Conduct.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Data sources
- Data frames and geographic data including shapefiles; bundled Burdekin example datachecked 23 Sep 2026
- Example audience
- The site describes communicating pollutant predictions and uncertainties to catchment managers and policy makers as a use for Vizumap.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Example data
- The package includes example data on predicted total suspended sediment loads and prediction uncertainties from Queensland’s upper Burdekin catchment.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Exceedance maps
- Exceedance probability maps color each geographic area according to the probability of exceeding a specified threshold or target.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Glyph maps
- Glyph maps use color for the estimate and rotation for uncertainty, placing equally sized glyphs at geographic-area centroids to give areas equal visual attention.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Installation
- The site provides an installation command using remotes::install_github() for the lydialucchesi/Vizumap repository and instructions to open the package vignette in R.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Integration
- The pixel map quick start loads the R package sf and uses its sf_use_s2 function.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Intended users
- The site says its maps can communicate pollutant predictions and uncertainties to catchment managers and policy makers.checked 12 Oct 2026
- License
- The site identifies Vizumap version 1.2.0 as licensed under GPLv3.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Map types
- It supports bivariate, pixel, glyph, and exceedance probability maps.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Pixel maps
- Pixel maps assign values sampled from an estimate’s confidence or credible interval to small pixels within geographic areas; higher uncertainty appears more pixelated.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Product
- Vizumap is an R package for showing statistical uncertainty on maps of statistical estimates.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Purpose
- Vizumap is an R package for adding statistical uncertainty information to maps of statistical estimates.checked 12 Oct 2026
- Scheduled refresh
