Layer groups
Via the group and group.control argument in
the map layer functions it is possible group layers and (de)select in
the leaflet layer control box.

tm_view(set_zoom_limits = c(8,14))Important is that the plotting order of layers is not affected by the
grouping, but specified by the z argument. When these are
not specified (such as in this example), the order in the plot call is
taken (except for tm_basemap() which is always drawn at the
bottom).
Note that if the group argument is not specified, such
as in the province layer, the group name is inherited from
tm_shape().

Via tm_group it is possible to set the
group.control and moreover to specify at which zoom levels
this group is plotted.
