ColorMap: Plot Levels of a Variable in a Colour-Coded Map

Description

Plot Levels of a Variable in a Colour-Coded Map

Usage

ColorMap(values, map = NULL, polys = NULL, log = FALSE, 

    nclr = 7, include.legend = list(TRUE), round = 3, 

    brks = NULL, legend = NULL, location = "topright", 

    rev = FALSE, alpha = 0.5, GRAY = FALSE, palette = c("YlOrRd", 

        "RdYlGn", "Spectral")[1], textInPolys = NULL, 

    ...)

round

number of digits to round to in legend

brks

if desired, pre-specified breaks for legend

legend

if desired, a pre-specified legend

location

location of legend

rev

boolean of whether to reverse colour scheme (darker colours for smaller values)
