Running R version 2.6.1 under Gentoo Linux, I'm trying to produce a thematic map of the USA using the gmaps package. The result thus far has two problems from my point of view. First, the projection (Miller cylindrical?) elongates southern states and flattens northern ones unattractively. I'd prefer Albers conic projection or something similar. Second, the inset for Alaska is placed

My goal is to prepare a thematic map of the US, with states shaded according to their values for a variable of interest. I would like to include an inset for Alaska in the upper left and an inset for Hawaii in the lower left. If possible, I'd like to use Albers conic projection, or something similar. Thus far I have tried using the maps package with its state database (which omits

Hello, The most part of the program works except that the following logical variable does not get created although the second logical variable-based extraction works. I don't understand what I am doing wrong here. state_pflt200 <- df$p_fatal <200 df[state_pflt200, c("state.name","p_fatal")] I would appreciate receiving your help. Thanks, Pradip Muhuri

I'm having issues when trying to do a filled State plot using the maps() package. It seems that the color values aren't being plotted correctly, and I'm not sure why... I've started debugging it, but I'm stuck. I've attached the code that I've got so far. The for loop plots states 1:i. What I'm noticing is that the colors are correct until after Michigan gets

Hi folks, I'm just learning how to use maps. As an initial foray, I'm mapping the states that have "duty to retreat" (blue) and "stand your ground" (red) self-defense standards. Here is my extremely naive script: dtr <- c('alabama', 'arizona', 'conneticut', 'delaware', 'dist of columbia' , 'hawaii',

Hi, We are trying to interpret the clusters generated by hclust method of R "stats" package. The problem here is when i get the hc$order then there is some order, while exporting to file that order is lost. Here is the example code and their results: > hc <- hclust(dist(USArrests), "ave") > plot(hc) > hc$label [1] "Alabama" "Alaska"

Hello List, My goal is to apply a user-defined function on several columns of a data frame.

Hello List, My goal is to create a 5 category variable (p1_st_data$ob_mrj_cat), based on the p1_st_data$obt_mrj_p variable, using the following code for 50 States and District of Columbia (N=51). p1_st_data$ob_mrj_cat <- cut (p1_st_data$obt_mrj_p, quantile (p1_st_data$obt_mrj_p, (0:5/5), include.lowest=TRUE)) The issue is that, for Utah, I am getting an <NA> instead of (42,48.7] in

I noticed there is a country_select. Is there anything like us_state_select maybe? More specifically - I''m wondering if I manually have to populate an array with all the U.S. state abbreviations so users can select which state they live in while entering their mailing address. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is there any way to change gmap marker icon while onclick and get back its original icon while clicking another marker or map.

Running R version 2.6.1 under Linux, I'm trying to use the maps and mapdata packages and the state database to produce a thematic map of the USA. My problem is that cracks (white spaces) appear between some states--e.g. between Colorado and Utah and between Michigan and Indiana. The resulting visual impression is that the country is breaking up. This occurs in all the projections I have

Dear all, We are trying to fit a non linear model to dispersal data. It seems that sometimes when the fit of the model of the data is not very good we start getting singular gradient errors. However if we modify slightly the data this won't occurr. We have also tried changing the initial parameter values and the algorithm for fitting in nls but didn't help. So we ended up programming a

Just wanted to catch everybody up. So many people contributed to the work list that I'd probably miss several if I tried to notify just them. Many people contributed funds, too, which I greatly appreciate. We were able to get the entire list done, which added up to two full hours of work on Allison's part. And that's just the recordings -- I'm doing the editing myself. Which

Hi All, Does anybody know of any existing functions that will calculate distance inland from a coastline? It's possible to test if a lon,lat location is land or sea using map.where(), but I need to add a buffer to this of say 2km, to allow for points that are just on the coast, and below the resolution of the worldHires database. I'm working with a marine mammal satellite telemetry

Does anyone have any experience plotting complex polygons on a scatterplot3d display? I would like to present some spatially binned data in a 3-d type plot with background polygons (i.e.. a filled coastline map). I can get the coastline onto the plot window as a line type but cannot figure out how to fill the shape. I'm certain it may be possible but might require a bit of digging
