Quick R: Inset maps
An alternative using plot()
How to place an inset map in R? There are many solutions out there using
the ggplot2 package (see Drawing beautiful maps programmatically with
R, sf and ggplot2
by Mel Moreno and Mathieu Basille). However, I like the old reliable plot
function, so the question is: is there another way?

Beautiful maps with R (I): Fishnets, honeycombs and pixels
Simplified maps with R
Sometimes you want to produce maps with special layouts. I especially like
maps with modified geometries, e.g. simplifying the original shapes to squares
or dots. When searching the web, I found the fantastic post Fishnets and
Honeycomb: Square vs. Hexagonal Spatial Grids
by Matt Strimas-Mackey, which was a huge
inspiration (by the way, don’t miss his blog, full
of very interesting pieces of work).
