### Example: allocate centroids to hexagon grid

Source: https://srkobakian.github.io/sugarbag/reference/allocate.html

Complete example that creates centroids, builds a hexagon grid, and allocates centroids to grid points using allocate(). The output messages indicate the allocation process.

```r
# Create centroids set
centroids <- create_centroids(tas_lga, sf_id = "lga_code_2016")
# Smaller set for faster example
centroids <- centroids[1:10,] 
# Create hexagon location grid
data(capital_cities)
grid <- create_grid(centroids = centroids, hex_size = 0.2, buffer_dist = 1.2)
# Allocate polygon centroids to hexagon grid points
hex_allocated <- allocate(
  centroids = centroids,
  hex_grid = grid,
  hex_size = 0.2, # same size used in create_grid
  hex_filter = 3,
  focal_points = capital_cities,
  width = 30, 
  verbose = TRUE
)
#> Finding closest point in focal_points data set.
#> Allocating centroids, in order of distance to closest focal point.
# NEXT: 
# create a set of hexagon points for plotting
# using fortify_hexagon, and

### Fortify hexagons and plot static map

Source: https://srkobakian.github.io/sugarbag/articles/Tasmania.html

Prepares hexagon and geographic polygon data for plotting, then creates a static map with `ggplot`. The `fortify_hexagon` function generates six points per region for hexagon plotting, and `fortify_sfc` converts the original polygons. The plot uses `sa4_name_2016` for fill and `scale_fill_viridis_d()` for colour.

```r
hexagons <- hex_allocated %>%
  fortify_hexagon(hex_size = 0.2, sf_id = "sa2_name_2016") %>%
  left_join(., tas_sa2) %>% 
  mutate(poly_type = "hex")
#> Joining with `by = join_by(sa2_name_2016)`

polygons <- fortify_sfc(tas_sa2) %>% 
  mutate(poly_type = "geo")

ggplot(mapping = aes(fill = sa4_name_2016)) +
  geom_polygon(data = polygons, aes(x=long, lat, group = interaction(sa2_name_2016,polygon)), alpha = 0.4) +
  geom_polygon(data = hexagons, aes(x=long, lat, group = interaction(sa2_name_2016))) + scale_fill_viridis_d()
```

### Prepare animation data and plot facets

Source: https://srkobakian.github.io/sugarbag/articles/Tasmania.html

Combines hexagon and polygon points into a single data frame for animation, joining with `homeless` data. The `left_join` produces a many-to-many warning, which is expected. The resulting `ggplot` uses `facet_wrap(~poly_type)` to show hexagon and geographic views side by side.

```r
hexagon_points <- hexagons %>% 
  select(sa4_name_2016, sa2_name_2016,  
sa2_name_2016, long, lat, poly_type) %>% 
  left_join(polygons %>% distinct(sa2_name_2016, polygon), by = "sa2_name_2016")
#> Warning in left_join(., polygons %>% distinct(sa2_name_2016, polygon), by = "sa2_name_2016"): Detected an unexpected many-to-many relationship between `x` and `y`.
#> ℹ Row 31 of `x` matches multiple rows in `y`.
#> ℹ Row 183 of `y` matches multiple rows in `x`.
#> ℹ If a many-to-many relationship is expected, set `relationship =
#>   "many-to-many"` to silence this warning.
polygon_points <- polygons %>% 
  select(sa4_name_2016, sa2_name_2016, long, lat, polygon, poly_type)

animate_tas <- bind_rows(hexagon_points, polygon_points) %>%
  left_join(homeless, by = "sa2_name_2016")

animate_tas %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x=long, y=lat, group = interaction(polygon, sa2_name_2016))) +
  geom_polygon(aes(fill = sa4_name_2016)) +
  geom_polygon(data = polygon_points %>% select(-poly_type), fill = "grey40", alpha = 0.05) + 
  coord_equal() +

Function signature for create_centroids. It takes an sf object, a column name for polygon identifiers, and optional arguments for centroid calculation and progress reporting.

```r
create_centroids(shp_sf, sf_id, largest = TRUE, verbose = FALSE)
```

### Create centroids with create_centroids

Source: https://srkobakian.github.io/sugarbag/articles/Tasmania.html

Computes the central point (centroid) for each polygon in the `tas_sa2` data set, using the `sa2_name_2016` column as the unique identifier. The result is stored in `centroids` for later use in grid creation and allocation.

```r
# Find the longitude and latitude centroid for each region or area
centroids <- create_centroids(tas_sa2, sf_id = "sa2_name_2016")
```

### filter_grid_points(f_grid, f_centroid, focal_points = NULL, f_dist = filter_dist, angle_width = width, h_size = hex_size)

Source: https://srkobakian.github.io/sugarbag/reference/filter_grid_points.html

Filters a complete grid of hexagon centroids to those within a specified distance of a given centroid, optionally considering focal points and angle width.

```APIDOC
## filter_grid_points(f_grid, f_centroid, focal_points = NULL, f_dist = filter_dist, angle_width = width, h_size = hex_size)

### Description
Takes only the closest available gridpoints as possible hexagon centroids to allocate polygons.

### Usage
```r
filter_grid_points(
  f_grid,
  f_centroid,
  focal_points = NULL,
  f_dist = filter_dist,
  angle_width = width,
  h_size = hex_size
)
```

### Arguments
- **f_grid** - complete grid of hexagon centroids
- **f_centroid** - the longitude and latitude values for the current centroid
- **focal_points** - a tibble of focal locations, an optional argument that allows allocation of polygons to hexagon centroids in ascending order of the distance to the closest focal point. It also filters the grid points to those within a 30 degree range of the angle from focal point to centroid. The default "capitals" uses the locations of the Australian capital cities as focal points.
- **f_dist** - a distance in degrees, used as a boundary to filter the hexagon centroids considered for each polygon centroid to be allocated.
- **angle_width** - a numeric used to filter the hexagon grid
- **h_size** - a float value in degrees for the diameter of the hexagons

### Value
A tibble of filtered grid points.
```

### fortify_hexagon function signature

Source: https://srkobakian.github.io/sugarbag/reference/fortify_hexagon.html

Usage signature for the fortify_hexagon function. It takes a data frame created by the allocate function, a column name identifying individual polygons, and a float hexagon diameter in degrees.

```r
fortify_hexagon(data, sf_id, hex_size)
```

--------------------------------

### Visualise hexagon map

Source: https://srkobakian.github.io/sugarbag/index.html

Fortifies the allocated data and plots the hexagon map using ggplot2.

```R
hexagons <- fortify_hexagon(data = hex_allocated, sf_id = "lga_code_2016", hex_size = 0.2)

polygons <- fortify_sfc(tas_lga) %>% 
  mutate(poly_type = "geo")

ggplot(mapping = aes(fill = lga_code_2016)) +
  geom_polygon(data = polygons, 
               aes(x=long, lat, 
    group = interaction(lga_code_2016, polygon)), 
               alpha = 0.4) +
  geom_polygon(data = hexagons, 
               aes(x=long, lat, 
    group = interaction(lga_code_2016))) +
  scale_fill_viridis_d() +
  theme_map() +
  theme(legend.position = "none", aspect.ratio = 1)
```

### Function Signature: closest_focal_point

Source: https://srkobakian.github.io/sugarbag/reference/closest_focal_point.html

The basic function signature for calculating the closest focal point given a centroid and a set of focal points.

```R
closest_focal_point(centroid, focal_points)
```

--------------------------------

### Allocate polygon areas to hexagon locations

Source: https://srkobakian.github.io/sugarbag/index.html

Assigns each polygon centroid to the closest available hexagon grid point.

```R
# Allocate the centroids to the hexagon grid
# We have the same amount of rows, as individual regions
hex_allocated <- allocate(
  centroids = centroids,
  hex_grid = grid,
  hex_size = 0.2, # same size used in create_grid
  hex_filter = 3,
  focal_points = capital_cities,
  width = 30, 
  verbose = TRUE
)
```

--------------------------------

### Filter grid points with filter_grid_points()

Source: https://srkobakian.github.io/sugarbag/reference/filter_grid_points.html

Filters a complete grid of hexagon centroids to those within a specified distance (f_dist) of the current centroid, optionally using focal points to prioritize centroids by distance and angle. The function returns a tibble of filtered grid points.

```r
filter_grid_points(
  f_grid,
  f_centroid,
  focal_points = NULL,
  f_dist = filter_dist,
  angle_width = width,
  h_size = hex_size
)
```

--------------------------------

### Calculate centroids from polygons

Source: https://srkobakian.github.io/sugarbag/index.html

Finds the central longitude and latitude points for each region or area.

```R
# Find the longitude and latitude centroid for each region or area
centroids <- create_centroids(tas_lga, "lga_code_2016")
```

--------------------------------

### Convert to long lat with st_transform

Source: https://srkobakian.github.io/sugarbag/articles/Tasmania.html

Converts spatial data to longitude/latitude coordinates using the GRS80 ellipsoid. Used as a step in the workflow to prepare data for centroid calculation.

```r
st_transform(., crs = "+proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80")
```

### Filter Tasmanian SA2 areas from Australian data using strayr

Source: https://srkobakian.github.io/sugarbag/articles/Tasmania.html

Alternative data preparation: filters the full Australian SA2 dataset from the strayr package to include only Tasmanian areas, using the state_name_2016 column.

```R
library(strayr)
strayr::sa22016 %>%
  filter(state_name_2016 == "Tasmania") %>% 
```
