Re: Bubble maps on R

[Andy South]

Hi Shabnam,

Thanks for your question.

from ?mapBubbles you should see that :

nameZSize

name of column containing numeric variable to set symbol size

nameZColour

name of column containing variable to set symbol colour

Hopefully the short example below should help. Buuble size is set from population and colour from continent. 

mapBubbles(dF=getMap(), nameZSize="POP_EST", nameZColour="continent")

#use this to look at the columns

str(getMap()@data)

If you have any other questions do ask.

I've also posted this to the rworldmap mailing list, to help others and/or for them to help you.

Best wishes,

Andy

Hello,

 I am a student of evolutionary biology in UPEC university in Paris. I have already used rworldmap package to create maps, but now I need to have a bubblemap for my data. The problem is that I don't understand what nameZSize and nameZColour are and how to write my data for these columns.

Could you please help me?

 Bests regards,

Shabnam TAHERI
