Setup

System Requirements: Cross-platform (Linux/MacOS/Windows)
Programming language: R
Dependent packages: ggplot2; RColorBrewer

# Install packages
if (!requireNamespace("ggplot2", quietly = TRUE)) {
  install.packages("ggplot2")
}
if (!requireNamespace("RColorBrewer", quietly = TRUE)) {
  install.packages("RColorBrewer")
}

# Load packages
library(ggplot2)
library(RColorBrewer)

Data Preparation

# Load data
data <- read.delim("files/Hiplot/099-map-china-county-data.txt", header = T)
dt_map <- readRDS("files/Hiplot/china.county.rds")

# Convert data structure
dt_map$Value <- data$value[match(dt_map$county, data$name)]

# View data
head(data)

      name value
1   东城区   739
2   西城区   536
3   朝阳区   138
4   丰台区   561
5 石景山区   345
6   海淀区   898
