Dear R-listers, I am using R for Windows Vista 64-bit. I have no experience working with maps, but now I have to plot a map of Denmark in which each Danish county is color-coded according to its incidence rate of a particular disease. My problem is that I don't know where to start. I have read the help files to packages like 'mapplot', and their examples indicate that I am on the right track, but where do I find a suitably detailed map of Denmark, and which format should I prefer? The terminology in the help files etc. is overwhelming.
Thank you in advance for any help. Best regards, Peter. *** R version 2.8.1 (2008-12-22) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: LC_COLLATE=Danish_Denmark.1252;LC_CTYPE=Danish_Denmark.1252;LC_MONETARY= Danish_Denmark.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Danish_Denmark.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
