No special action is required by the user to install this package or load it when running SeerMapper.

When SeerMapper is called, if it determines which, if any, supplemental packages need to be loaded, it initiates the loading for the caller.

  
  library(SeerMapper)
  
  rateDate <- data.frame(FIBS=stateFibs, 
                         Rate=stateRateVector, 
                         pValue=stateRatePValue)
  
  SeerMapper(rateData, Title=c("Test Map"))
 

If the package attachment or dataset load fails, the caller is notified of the problem and mapping is terminated.
