micromapST: Linked Micromap Plots for General U. S. and Other Geographic Areas

Provides the users with the ability to quickly create Linked Micromap plots for a collection of geographic areas. Linked Micromaps are visualizations of georeferenced 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 micromaps 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 micromaps 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. Copyrighted 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 by Carr, Pearson and Pickle.
