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/115-map-usa-data.txt", header = T)
dt_map <- readRDS("files/Hiplot/usa.rds")

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

# View data
head(data)
          name value
1   Washington   438
2      Montana   103
3        Maine   614
4 North Dakota   256
5 South Dakota   639
6      Wyoming   599
