similar to: thematic map of USA

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 aim is to create a figure consisting of three maps: Alaska in the upper left corner, the 48 contiguous US states in the center right, and Hawaii in the lower left corner. In some ways the figure I'm trying to create is analogous to figure 1.5 in Paul Murrell's excellent "R Graphics", which combines a map of New Zealand with a map of the world. I tried adapting the code

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

Running R version 2.6.1 under Gentoo Linux, I'm trying to produce a thematic map of the USA using the gmap package and its function USALevelPlot. The variable whose levels are to be plotted is observed for 49 states but missing for one (Delaware). I would like to produce a map in which the states for which data exist are shaded and Delaware is represented only by an outline. In contrast

Dear list, I'm trying to produce a plot via xyplot with minimal sourounding white space. However, I cannot find the options in xyplot, ps.options or wherever which prevents lattice from drawing quite some white space around my plot. However, this is quite a problem for me as I want to produce an inset plot inside another lattice-plot. I'm using the panel function to open a viewport and

Hello all lattice experts! I'm currently trying to plot inset figures in my lattice graphics. The plot is composed out of two panels and in each panel I want to show an inset figure which is a closeup of the data in each panel. Thus in each panel I call xyplot again to plot the inset which I place in a grid viewport. Nevertheless, once my first inset plot is drawn, lattice aborts with an

Dear R gurus, I am trying to plot a legend in the margins of a figure. The basic idea is to have two (or more) plots on the same figure, but then to have a common legend at the bottom of the plot. The approach that I have taken is to setup the figures, then do a "dummy" plot of the legend to determine the height of the legend box (ie from the value returned by the legend() command). I

Legend titles work in linear plots: curve(1/x, xlim = c(0, 1)) legend(x = 'topright', inset = 0.04, legend = '1/x', lty = 1, title = 'Legend Title') But when you change to a log plot on either dimension things get screwy: curve(1/x, xlim = c(0, 1), log = 'y') legend(x = 'topright', inset = 0.04, legend = '1/x', lty = 1,

Hello I am trying to add a ternary plot as a corner inset graph to a larger main ternary plot. I have successfully used add.scatter in the past for different kinds of plots but It doesn't seem to work for this particular function. It overlays the old plot rather than plotting as an inset. Here is a simple version of what I'm trying. Note that if I change the inset plot to be an ordinary

I am trying to plot a figure within a figure (an inset that shows a closeup of part of the data set). I have searched R-help and other sources but not found a solution. What I would like to do is (1) produce a plot (2) specify a window that will be used for the next plot (in inches or using the coordinate system of the plot produced in (1) (3) overlay a new plot in the window specified under (2)

Dear All, I ma having a trouble in generating a figure containing 3 insets with the gridBase package. I always get an error message of the kind: Error in gridPLT() : Figure region too small and/or viewport too large No matter which parameters I choose. The plots works nicely with two insets only, but when I try adding the third one, my troubles begin. I am probably doing something wrong in the

Taking David's example further, here is a first try: id | name | description | more info -----+---------+-------------------+----------------- 6 | Inset | An inset element | just one element 8 | Stories | Another element | another element : with 2 lines, without : colons on the left. 9 | Other

Hi, Could any one point me to the projection, and parameters if necessary, that would show each country/continent with it's area accurately refelcted on the plot? E.g. aitoff vs. albers vs. bonne vs. cylequalearea vs. guyou - they don't all look the same to mee but some of the documentations suggests they are equal area? Of course this isn't my field, so I am largely guessing and am

Hello: I have a problem when I tried to color the USA map with different colors. The following is my data (I only used the second column of data): alaska, 1, 2 Hawaii, 0, 0 USA, 5, 5 And here is my code: library("latticeExtra") library("mapproj") state<-read.table("C:\\usaclass.txt",sep=",") state

I want to overlay a small inset map on top of another map, but I can't figure out how to do it. For example, here are two different maps: # map 1 - Ohio map("state", region= "ohio") # map 2 - US with Ohio darkened map("state") map("state", region="ohio", fill=T, add=T) I would like to add map 2 as a small inset in the corner of map 1. I

Hi, I'm using R-2.8.1 for windows. I wrote a script calls the RODBC package to run sql queries against an oracle database. It runs fine when run from the rconsole and returns a data.frame with a summary for a set of experiments. I want to run this script using the rinterface.RunRFile command in an excel plugin, using the rexcel package. When I run the code from my excel plugin I

Hi R Gurus! There was a function in S called "usa()" which would plot the US. I found map('usa') in R for the lower 48 states. Is there a way to include Alaska and Hawaii as well, please? Thanks, Edna Bell

Hello all. I am trying to create one figure, divided into 6 graphs/plots each with an inset sub-figure. I can use to layout command to generate one figure with one inset sub-figure, but cannot seem to do it for multiple figures on one page. I've tried a test with the following code: layout(matrix(c(1,2,3,4), nrow=2, byrow=TRUE)) plot(rnorm(10), rnorm(10)) plot(rnorm(10), rnorm(10))

#################################################################################### We have used maptools to construct state, county, township, census-tract, and zipcode level R maps with an Albers Conical Equal Area projection. We would like to be able to plot the location of weather stations or other point locations on the maps. The data the point locations are in latitude-longitude units

Hello, I am trying to add R code to my dissertation and the length of a line of text that Sweave generates is longer than the right margin in my dissertation. I have found no way to tell Sweave how to set the line length. I am using an iMac with tiger ver. 10.4.10, and R: ver. 2.5.1. Here is the R code that is longer than my right margin: input to Sweave:
