Purpose
This tutorial prominently centres on the spatial abilities of R Studio; an open software program with its own scripting language that is often used for data analysis, statistics and graphing of very large datasets. Throughout the studies of Carleton students, R Studio most likely has been used for its powerful statistical capabilities and graphing.
But the software can do so much more!
The spatial data package offers a wide range of tools that can take tables and create custom maps with a myriad of customization. By no means is this package an equivalent to ArcMap or other such dedicated mapping platforms but R can do many of the same things with their own advantages.
