使用R中的墨卡托投影向地图添加点

我从mapdata包中绘制一张地图,我可以在不投影时轻松添加一些点。 我想对地图使用墨卡托投影,我也尝试投射点,但我没有找到将它们添加到此地图的方法。也许我没有使用正确的投影字符串?或者我犯了一些愚蠢的错误?

# transform the points data.frame into a spatial object
library(sp)
coordinates(places) <- c("lon", "lat")
proj4string(places) <- CRS("+proj=longlat")

# this map works
map(database = "worldHires", xlim=c(-12,50), ylim=c(35, 70), resolution = 1, mar=c(0,0,0,0))
plot(places, add=TRUE, col = "red")

# project the points with Mercator projection (maybe not the wright one?)
library(rgdal)
places <- spTransform(places, CRS("+proj=merc"))

# The map with mercator projection is ok but  the points are not there (and their
# coordinates values are indeed very different from the map coordinates)
map(database = "worldHires",projection = "mercator", xlim=c(-12,50), ylim=c(35, 70), resolution = 1, mar=c(0,0,0,0))
plot(places, add=TRUE, col = "red")

使用places对象的原始版本,您可以使用mapproj()功能向投影地图添加点,如this webpage所述。

map(database="worldHires", projection="mercator", 
    xlim=c(-12,50), ylim=c(35, 70), 
    resolution=1, mar=c(0, 0, 0, 0))
points(mapproject(places$lon, places$lat), col="red")
