barmap: Bar graph of map and non-map data

In mgraph: Graphing map attributes and non-map variables in R

Description

The barmap function plots an attribute of a map data. It also returns tabular data:frequencies

Usage

barmap(source,layer='',attribute,type='',label="",col='',factor='')
## Default S3 method:
barmap(source,layer='',attribute,type='',label="",col='',factor='')
## S3 method for class 'barmap'
print(x,...)
## S3 method for class 'barmap'
summary(object,...)
## S3 method for class 'barmap'
plot(x,...)

Arguments

source	Folder path of the layer or map. Please quote the full folder path with forward slash "/". You can use R object as a source but you must set the layer parameter to "nofile"; see below
layer	The layer map in the folder that you want to work with. It is the file name of map. This is case sensitive, please. In case you want to use non spatial data such as ".csv", ".txt", "dat" or ".tab" insert the file name as layer. In case of using R object as a source set layer to "nofile"
type	The type of bar chart you want to plot. It can take "simple", "group","stack"; Set the "type" to "map" if you want a map to be drawn for the attribute
attribute	The attribute name of the layer or the map you want use. In case you of using non spatial data such as ".csv", ".txt", "dat" or ".tab" attributes are variables or column names
factor	In case you choose "group"or "stack" as type, you must specify the factor variable or attributes here.This will be used to group the attribute
label	The labeling title of the chart.
col	The colour of the chart
x	an object of class "barmap", i.e., a fitted model.
object	an object of class "barmap", i.e., a fitted model.
...	any other R parameters can be added

Value

Objects of the class that basically list its elements

data	Original data for the model
table	Frequency of the original data
source	Folder path of the layer or map
layer	The layer map in the source folder
attribute	The attribute name of the layer or the map that was used.
label	The labeling title of the chart.
