DeducerSpatial (version 0.7)

spatialChoropleth: lifted from choropleth in the USCensus2000 package

Description

produces a choropleth plot for a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame

Usage

spatialChoropleth(sp, color ,quantileBin=FALSE, palette, alpha=1,
		main = NULL, sub = "", legend.loc = "bottomleft", 
		legend.title ,add=TRUE,border="transparent", ...)

Arguments

sp

a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame

color

the variable to map to color (either the name in x or a vector)

quantileBin

should color be devided into quantile bins. If true, 5 bins are useds. alternatively quantileBin can be set to the number of desired bins

palette

A color scale (See the scales package)

alpha

transparency

main
