mapping - Automatic Download, Linking, Manipulating Coordinates for Maps
Maps are an important tool to visualise variables
distribution across different spatial objects. The mapping
process requires to link the data with coordinates and then
generate the correspondent map. This package provide
coordinates, linking and mapping functions for an automatic,
flexible and easy approach of external functions. The package
provides an easy, flexible and automatic unit. Geographical
coordinates are provided in the package and automatically
linked with the input data to generate maps with internal
provided functions or external functions. Provide an easy,
flexible and automatic approach to potentially download updated
coordinates, to link statistical units with coordinates and to
aggregate variables based on the spatial hierarchy of units.
The object returned from the package can be used for thematic
maps with the build-in functions provided in mapping or with
other packages already available.
