mUSMap

Make a US map with ggplot2

Description

mUSMap takes in one dataframe that includes information about different US states. It merges this dataframe with a dataframe that includes geographical coordinate information. Depending on the arguments passed, it returns this data or a ggplot object constructed with the data.

Usage

mUSMap(
  data = NULL,
  key,
  fill = NULL,
  plot = c("borders", "frame", "none"),
  style = c("compact", "real")
)

Arguments

`data`	A dataframe with US states as cases
`key`	The column name in the `data` that holds the unique names of each state
`fill`	A variable in the `data` used to specify the fill color of states in the map (note: if `fill` is not null, then `plot` cannot be set to "none")
`plot`	The plot desired for the output. `plot` = "none" returns the merged data that is the result of merging the `data` and the dataframe with the geographical coordinate information; `plot` = "frame" returns an empty (unplottable) ggplot object; `plot` = "border" (the default) returns a ggplot object with one geom_polygon layer that shows the borders of the states
`style`	The style in which to display the map. `compact` gives a polyconic projection with Alaska and Hawaii on the lower left corner; `real` gives the real size and position of all states without any projection.

Examples

USArrests2 <- USArrests %>% mutate(state = row.names(.))
mUSMap(USArrests2, key="state", fill = "UrbanPop")
