Re: [R] Building US maps in R

Hi DD,

if you have a .shp file (which in principal should exist of the kind
of map your describing) you can load into R using this packages:
http://r-spatial.sourceforge.net/

In addition, there is also the R-Geo list which is much more suited
for this kind of questions:
r-sig-...@stat.math.ethz.ch

And there is always the book when it comes to R and spatial modeling
(Applied Spatial Data Analysis With R):
http://www.asdar-book.org/

Best of luck,
Stefan

 Hi,

 I'm trying to build some maps of the US by county that will have the
 following characteristics:

 Feature/Map
        Map 1

        Both
 Broken out by county
        Yes
        Yes
        Yes
 Heatmaps of US Census Data for income by county
        Yes
        No
        Yes
 Heatmaps of US Census Data for race by county (recoded as white and
 non-white, with each county color coded based on the majority)
        No
        Yes
        No
 Polygon markers showing the coordinates of a list of restaurants that
 have geographical coordinates attached
        Yes
        Yes
        Yes


 I started learning R a year ago, but had to drop it for work reasons. Is
 there someone on the list who can help guide me through the process or
 refer me to /very, very/ detailed instructions and tutorials?

 Thanks,

 DD
