get_tract_map

<p>The name of the state. See ?state.regions for proper spelling and capitalization.</p>

state_name

<p>The map returned is exactly the same map which tract_choropleth uses. It is downloaded
using the "tracts" function in the tigris package, and then it is modified for use with 
choroplethr.</p>

Choropleths are thematic maps where geographic regions, such as
states, are colored according to some metric, such as the number of people
who live in that state. This package simplifies this process by 1.
Providing ready-made functions for creating choropleths of common maps. 2.
Providing data and API connections to interesting data sources for making
choropleths. 3. Providing a framework for creating choropleths from
arbitrary shapefiles. 4. Overlaying those maps over reference maps from
Google Maps.
