Re: [R] choropleth packages (US)

Alaska and Hawaii can be found in the 'world' or 'world2' databases of the 'maps' package. The following is a bit a hack but it works library(maps) library(scales) mergeMaps <- function(...) { maps <- list(...) if (length(maps) < 2) stop("need at least two maps") map <-

[R] choropleth packages (US)
