Package 'WorldMapR'

geometries_data

Description

This function generates a data frame with information about geometries and centroid coordinates of countries. You can choose whether to keep all the countries or only a subset.

Usage

geometries_data(exclude.iso.na = TRUE, countries.list = NULL)

Arguments

exclude.iso.na	if TRUE (default), countries that do not have a ISO 3166 code are excluded from the table.
countries.list	List of the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes of countries that are to be included. By default it is set to NULL and all countries are included.

Value

an object of class data.frame and sf.

Examples

geometries_data(countries.list = c("IT", "FR", "US"))

Simulated data set 1

Description

Data from a random simulation with continuous data.

Usage

data(testdata1)

Format

An object of class data.frame

Examples

data(testdata1)
head(testdata1)

---

Simulated data set 1b

Description

Data from a random simulation with continuous and categorical data.

Usage

data(testdata1b)

Format

An object of class data.frame

Examples

data(testdata1b)
head(testdata1b)

---

Simulated data set 1c

Description

Data from a random simulation with continuous and categorical data. This data set contains information about 237 countries (countries without unique ISO 3166 code are excluded).

Usage

worldplot

Description

Plot a world heat map based on a continuous variable.

Usage

worldplot(
  data,
  ColName,
  CountryName,
  CountryNameType = "isoa2",
  rangeVal,
  longitude = c(-180, 180),
  latitude = c(-90, 90),
  crs = 4326,
  title = "",
  legendTitle = as.character(ColName),
  annote = FALSE,
  div = 1,
  palette_option = "D"
)

Arguments

data	Data set containing the list of nations and the variable that we want to plot.
ColName	Character variable with the name of the variable of interest.
CountryName	Character variable with the name of the country names column.
CountryNameType	Character variable with the coding for CountryName. One of isoa2 (default, standing for ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code), isoa3, or name.
rangeVal	Limit values that are to be defined for the map.
longitude	Longitude limits. Default is c(-180, 180) (whole world with crs as EPSG::4326).
latitude	Latitude limits. Default is c(-90, 90) (whole world with crs as EPSG::4326).
crs	Coordinate reference system (EPSG). By default the value is 4326, which corresponds to EPSG::4326 (WGS84)
title	Title of the plot. Default is no title.
legendTitle	Title of the legend. Default is the name of the filling variable.
annote	Do you want to plot country labels (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code) on the map? Default is set to FALSE.
div	Parameter for modifying the elements dimensions in the map. Usually, it does not need to be modified. Default value is 1.
palette_option	Character string indicating the palette to be used. Available options range between "A" and "H".

Value

a map

Examples

data(testdata1b)
worldplot(data = testdata1b,
          div = 1,
          ColName = "VNum",
          CountryName = "Cshort",
          CountryNameType = "isoa2",
          rangeVal = c(0,50),
          annote = FALSE)

---

worldplotCat

Description

Plot a world heat map based on a categorical variable.

Usage

worldplotCat(
  data,
  ColName,
  CountryName,
  CountryNameType,
  longitude = c(-180, 180),
  latitude = c(-90, 90),
  crs = 4326,
  title = "",
  legendTitle = as.character(ColName),
  Categories = levels(factor(map_df$MapFiller)),
  na.as.category = TRUE,
  annote = FALSE,
  div = 1,
  palette_option = "D"
)

Arguments

data	Data set containing the list of nations and the variable that we want to plot.
ColName	Character variable with the name of the variable of interest.
CountryName	Character variable with the name of the country names column.
CountryNameType	Character variable with the coding for CountryName. One of isoa2 (default, standing for ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code), isoa3, or name.
longitude	Longitude limits. Default is c(-180, 180) (whole world with crs as EPSG::4326).
latitude	Latitude limits. Default is c(-90, 90) (whole world with crs as EPSG::4326).
crs	Coordinate reference system (EPSG). By default the value is 4326, which corresponds to EPSG::4326 (WGS84)
title	Title of the plot. Default is no title.
legendTitle	Title of the legend. Default is the name of the filling variable.
Categories	categories labels to be plotted in the legend.
na.as.category	Treat NA as a separate category? If 'TRUE, NA will also appear in the legend as one of the categories.
annote	Do you want to plot country labels (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code) on the map? Default is set to FALSE.
div	Parameter for modifying the elements dimensions in the map. Usually, it does not need to be modified. Default value is 1.
