Hiplot website

This page is the tutorial for source code version of the Hiplot Europe Map plugin. You can also use the Hiplot website to achieve no code ploting. For more information please see the following link:

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/102-map-europe-data.txt", header = T)
dt_map <- readRDS("files/Hiplot/eu.rds")

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

# View data
head(data)
              region value
1            Albania   758
2            Andorra   139
3            Austria   256
4            Belgium   959
5 Bosnia Herzegovina   422
6            Croatia   791
