aec_extract_f | R Documentation |
The dorling algorithm doesn't work on the entire country, because it is very clustered at the cities. To get a reasonable cartogram we need to extract out the cities, expand these with dorling independently. This function does the extraction.
aec_extract_f(aec_data, ctr = c(151.2, -33.8), expand = c(3, 4.5), ...)
aec_data |
