For a few years now, it has become easy to create interactive maps with R thanks to the package `leaflet` by the Rstudio team. Nevertheless, it only provides only a few functions to create basic shapes on a map, so the information that can be represented on a single map is limited: if you have some data associated to some points, you can only represent at most two variables by drawing circles and changing their radius and color according to data.

`leaflet.minicharts` is an R package that provides two functions to add and update small charts on an interactive maps created with the package `leaflet`. These charts can be used to represent as many variables as desired associated to geographical points. Currently, three types of chart are supported: barcharts (the default), pie charts and polar area charts (with two variants: "polar-area" and "polar-radius", where values are represented respectively by the area or the radius of the slices).

Here are screenshots of sample outputs:
