A few questions about maps... (1) How can I find a listing of the internal data sets that map() from the maps library contains? For example, "usa", "county", "state", "nz" all work. Are there any others?
(2) Is there an easier, more generalized way to produce this (http://www.ai.rug.nl/~hedderik/R/US2004/ ) type of plot than this (http://www.ai.rug.nl/~hedderik/R/US2004/map.r ) ? I have geographic (e.g. country, state, county, zip code) count data in a data frame that I would like to represent on a map, but still need to study how map.r works, especially the map.center function... (3) The examples at http://had.co.nz/ggplot2/coord_map.html are great. Adding another example that with color codes for counts from a data frame would be very useful too. (4) Is there a reason why I can produce a map of France but not the UK ? >library(maps) >library(ggplot2) >library(mapproj) >(qplot(x, y, data=(data.frame(map("france", plot=FALSE)[c("x","y")])), >geom="path")) + coord_map() >(qplot(x, y, data=(data.frame(map("uk", plot=FALSE)[c("x","y")])), >geom="path")) + coord_map() Error in get(dbname) : variable "ukMapEnv" was not found In addition: Warning message: In data(list = dbname) : data set 'ukMapEnv' not found ( version 2.8.0, on win xp currently) Thanks in advance, Avram ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
