abstract: 'Provides the users with the ability to quickly create linked micromap plots
  for a collection of geographic areas. Linked micromap plots are visualizations of
  geo-referenced data that link statistical graphics to an organized series of small
  maps or graphic images. The Help description contains examples of how to use the
  ''micromapST'' function. Contained in this package are border group datasets to
  support creating linked micromap plots for the 50 U.S. states and District of Columbia
  (51 areas), the U. S. 20 Seer Registries, the 105 counties in the state of Kansas,
  the 62 counties of New York, the 24 counties of Maryland, the 29 counties of Utah,
  the 32 administrative areas in China, the 218 administrative areas in the UK and
  Ireland (for testing only), the 25 districts in the city of Seoul South Korea, and
  the 52 counties on the Africa continent. A border group dataset contains the boundaries
  related to the data level areas, a second layer boundaries, a top or third layer
  boundary, a parameter list of run options, and a cross indexing table between area
  names, abbreviations, numeric identification and alias matching strings for the
  specific geographic area. By specifying a border group, the package create linked
  micromap plots for any geographic region. The user can create and provide their
  own border group dataset for any area beyond the areas contained within the package.
  In version 3.0.0, the ''BuildBorderGroup'' function was upgraded to not use the
  retiring ''maptools'', ''rgdal'', and ''rgeos'' packages. References: Carr and Pickle,
