绘制ggplot2中两个位置之间的曲线

Question

我正在制作一张关于从美洲到荷兰的出口的地图.为了可视化我的数据,我想制作一张带有箭头的地图,从美洲国家到荷兰.我使用了cshapes世界地图和ggplot2.

data = data.frame("Country.name" = c("Brazil","USA","Canada","Paraguay","Uruguay"), "lng" =    
c(14.23,37,56.13,-23.44,-32.52), "lat" = c(-51.92,-95.71,-106.34,-58.44,-55.77))

require(cshapes)
cshp.data = cshp(date=as.Date("2012-1-1"), useGW=TRUE)
region.data.frame = fortify(cshp.data, region = "ISO1AL3")

ggplot(region.data.frame) + geom_polygon(aes(long,lat,group=group)) +
geom_segment(data = data, aes(x = lat, y = lng, xend= (5.29 - 0.1 * (5.29 - lat)), yend= (52.13 - 0.1 * (52.13 - lng))),
arrow=arrow(length=unit(0.5,"cm"), angle = 45, type = "closed"))

我发现直线绘制时线条重叠.这很难看.因此,我正在寻找一种方法来绘制ggplot2中坐标之间的曲线,因此它们不会重叠.

我不能运行cshapes出于某种原因,但这里有一个如何建立使用曲线的例子curveGrob()从grid包和ggplot2的annotation_custom()功能.它为您提供了很大的灵活性.PS:大多数参数只是默认值.编辑 - 更新以显示2条曲线.

require(grid)
g<-qplot(c(0,10),c(0,10))
myCurve<-curveGrob(0, 0, 1, 1, default.units = "npc",
               curvature = 0.3, angle = 90, ncp = 20, shape = 1,
               square = FALSE, squareShape = 1,
               inflect = FALSE, arrow = arrow(), open = TRUE,
               debug = FALSE,
               name = NULL, gp = gpar(), vp = NULL)

myCurve2<-curveGrob(0, 0, 1, 1, default.units = "npc",
               curvature = -0.3, angle = 60, ncp = 10, shape = 1,
               square = FALSE, squareShape = 1,
               inflect = FALSE, arrow = arrow(), open = TRUE,
               debug = FALSE,
               name = NULL, gp = gpar(), vp = NULL)

g + 
  annotation_custom(grob=myCurve,0,10,0,10) + # plot from 0,0 to 10,10
  annotation_custom(grob=myCurve2,2.5,6,2.5,6)   # plot from 2.5,2.5 to 6,6
