NewYorkBGR Documentation

NewYorkBG border group datasets to supports building micromaps for the 62 counties in the state of New York.

Description

The micromapST function has the ability to generate linked micromaps for any geographical area. To specify the geographical area, the bordGrp call argument is used to specify the border group dataset for the geographical area. The NewYorkBG border group dataset supports creating linked micromaps for the 62 counties in the state of New York. When the bordGrp call argument is set to NewYorkBG, the appropriate name table (county names and abbreviations) and the 62 sub-areas (countries) boundary data is loaded in micromapST. The user's data is then linked to the boundary data via the county's name, abbreviated or ID based on the table below.

Details

The NewYorkBG border group dataset contains the following data.frames:

areaParms

- contains specific parameters for the border group

areaNamesAbbrsIDs

- containing the names, abbreviations, numerical identifier and alias matching string for each of the 62 counties in New York

areaVisBorders

- the boundary point lists for each area.

L2VisBorders

- the boundaries for an intermediate level. For this border group, this boundary data.frame is not used and set to L3VisBorders as a place holder.

RegVisBorders

- the boundaries for an intermediate level. For this border group, this boundary data.frame is not used and set to L3VisBorders as a place holder.

L3VisBorders

- the boundary of the state of New York.

The New York county border group contains 62 county sub-areas. Each county has a row in the areaNamesAbbrsIDs data.frame and a set of polygons in the areaVisBorders data.frame datasets. No regions are defined in the New York county border group, so the L2VisBorders dataset is not used and the regions option is disabled. The L3VisBorders dataset contains the outline of the state of New York.

The details on each of these data.frame structures can be found in the "bordGrp" section of this document. The areaNamesAbbrsIDs data.frame provides the linkages to the boundary data for each sub-area (county) using the fullname, abbreviation, and numerical identifier for each country to the <statsDFrame> data based on the setting of the rowNames call argument.

A column or the data.frame row.names must match one of the types of names in the areaNamesAbbrsIDs data.frame name table. If the data row does not match a value in the name table, an warning is issued and the data is ignored. If no data is present for a sub-area (county) in the name table, the sub-area (county) is mapped but not colored.

The following are a list of the names, abbreviations, and IDs for each country in the NewYorkBG border group.
