Overview

About

Maintained by John CoeneCRAN page ↗Website ↗

Easily create interactive choropleth maps then add bubbles and arcs by coordinates or region name. These maps can be used directly from the console, from 'RStudio', in 'Shiny' apps and 'R Markdown' documents. 'Shiny' proxies allow to interactively add arcs and bubbles, change choropleth values, or change labels.

Changes in 0.0.3

Support for icons and marker plugins added.
longitude and latitude arguments renamed to lon and lat respectively.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/datamaps/datamaps_0.0.3.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "datamaps_0.0.3.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.0.3) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
