mapPlot: Plot region-level variables on a map

In SUMMER: Small-Area-Estimation Unit/Area Models and Methods for Estimation in R

Plot region-level variables on a map

Description

This function visualizes the map with different variables. The input data frame can be either the long or wide format.

Usage

mapPlot(
  data = NULL,
  variables,
  values = NULL,
  labels = NULL,
  geo,
  by.data,
  by.geo,
  is.long = FALSE,
  size = 0.5,
  removetab = FALSE,
  border = "gray20",
  ncol = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  legend.label = NULL,
  per1000 = FALSE,
  clean = TRUE,
  size.label = 2,
  add.adj = FALSE,
  color.adj = "red",
  alpha.adj = 0.85,
  direction = 1,
  cut = NULL
)

Arguments

data	a data frame with variables to be plotted. When it is null, a map is produced.
variables	vector of variables to be plotted. If long format of data is used, only one variable can be selected
values	the column corresponding to the values to be plotted, only used when long format of data is used
labels	vector of labels to use for each variable, only used when wide format of data is used
geo	SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object for the map
by.data	column name specifying region names in the data
by.geo	variable name specifying region names in the data
is.long	logical indicator of whether the data is in the long format, default to FALSE
size	size of the border
removetab	logical indicator to not show the tab label, only applicable when only one tab is present.
border	color of the border
ncol	number of columns for the output tabs
ylim	range of the values to be plotted.
legend.label	Label for the color legend.
per1000	logical indicator to plot mortality rates as rates per 1,000 live births. Note that the added comparison data should always be in the probability scale.
clean	remove all coordinates for a cleaner layout, default to TRUE.
size.label	size of the label of the regions.
add.adj	logical indicator to add edges between connected regions.
color.adj	color of the adjacency matrix edges.
alpha.adj	alpha level (transparency) of the adjacency matrix edges.
direction	Direction of the color scheme. It can be either 1 (smaller values are darker) or -1 (higher values are darker). Default is set to 1.
cut	a vector of values to cut the continuous scale color to discrete intervals.
