Re: [R] Creating a map in R using ACS PUMS data
the smallest boundary in the 1-year acs files is public use microdata area (puma), but the 3- and 5-year public use microdata samples (pums) go down to some counties, i believe.. http://www.census.gov/acs/www/guidance_for_data_users/estimates/ i think you just need to download the census bureau's shapefiles for the geography you want to map http://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/tiger-line.html at the point you have a shapefile and you have created the data that you actually want to map, maybe start exploring your mapping options in R here-- http://flowingdata.com/category/visualization/mapping/ there's lots of people working with the ACS in R http://www.asdfree.com/search/label/american%20community%20survey%20%28acs%29 http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/UScensus2010/UScensus2010.pdf http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/acs/acs.pdf On Thu, Sep 12, 2013 at 9:49 AM, Chris Schatschneider wrote: > Hello all - does anyone know if there is a package in R that will allow me > to create a map of the US (or individual states) that uses the American > Community Survey PUMS boundaries? > > Thanks > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > __ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
[R] Creating a map in R using ACS PUMS data
Hello all - does anyone know if there is a package in R that will allow me to create a map of the US (or individual states) that uses the American Community Survey PUMS boundaries?

Re: [R] Creating a map with central Asian countries
Salaam,
If you would like to display the chart online than the googleVis package might
be helpful.
The package provides you with an interface to the Google Visualisation API.
Here is an example with a map of the population on the central Asian countries:
library(googleVis)
## googleVis comes with the data set Population
myData <- subset(Population, Country %in% c("Uzbekistan", "Kazakhstan",
"Tajikistan", "Kyrgyzstan", "Turkmenistan"))
## create a geo chart, using the Google Visualisation API,
## an internet connection is required to display the chart
plot(gvisGeoChart(myData, locationvar='Country', numvar='Population',
options=list(region='143')))
I hope this helps.
Regards
Markus

If you are reading the country shapefiles (I get mine from
www.gadm.org) into SpatialPolygonsDataFrames with the readShapeSpatial function
from package:maptools then you could either 'rbind' the five countries into one
SpatialPolygonsDataFrame or do an empty plot with the lat-long bounds and then
plot them with 'add=TRUE'. Something like (I've not tested this)
tajikistan = readShapeSpatial("TJK_adm0.shp")
plot(0,xlim=c(64,78),ylim=c(35,42)) # maybe other options for axis
and labels here
plot(tajikistan,add=TRUE)
Any problems with maps, shapefiles etc are probably best asked on r-sig-geo
mailing list, or www.stackoverflow.com with an R tag...

[R] Creating a map .
Hello. I would try to explain what I would like to implement so to suggest me what to try out. I would like to create an area of X*X km that would be used to "Simulate" an area map (eg. city's area, suburban area). -X would be a parameter so I do not want it to be fixed -In this map I would like to place users (people), thus I do not know in advance if in one place there would be one,two, or more users.. -I would also like to not have fixed resolution in my map and specify it as a parameter during run-time. In my X*X area I would like sometimes to have resolution of 1Km and others resolution of 10 meters. As resolution increases (1 km->100m->10m) less users would be found in the same "place". -In every "place" I would like to specify some parameters (eg. number of users, characteristics of users, energy consumption per user). I do not know in advance how much data I would need per user. Ofc 10 parameters per place might be ok but a not fixed approach is better. My first thoughts were to use an array and actually define an array of X*X dimension where X is defined at run time as parameter. The problem with this approach is that I do not have variable resolution in this area as I have the constant number of X*X places only. Also one more problem is that the cels of the array (where cell is used to simulate "place") can not be used to story many parameters but only a single numerical value). What do you suggest me to try looking at and what made up your decision? I would like to thank everyone that reached to this point reading all my big text.

Re: [R] creating a map
It should be in the datasets package that is automatically loaded with R (at
least my copy), try ?state and you should see the help for it and others.

of the circles to be. Some datesets with map information also have centers of
