other parameters, such as <code>stringsAsFactors</code>, are passed on to <code><a rd-options="rgdal:readOGR" href="/link/readOGR?package=tmap&version=1.6&to=rgdal%3AreadOGR" data-mini-rdoc="rgdal:readOGR::readOGR">readOGR</a></code>


Read an ESRI shape file. Optionally, set the current projection if it is missing.


Thematic maps are geographical maps in which spatial data distributions are visualized. This package offers a flexible, layer-based, and easy to use approach to create thematic maps, such as choropleths and bubble maps.
