Installation

You can install the package with devtools::install_github:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("gibonet/ggswissmaps")

Content

First of all, load the package:

library(ggswissmaps)
## Loading required package: ggplot2

We can use the ls function to look at the content:

ls("package:ggswissmaps")
## [1] "maps"          "maps2"         "shp_df"        "theme_white_f"

Or launch the help:

utils::help(package = "ggswissmaps")

There is some data:

data(package = "ggswissmaps")

Examples

Using the data

data("shp_df")
class(shp_df)
## [1] "list"
length(shp_df)
## [1] 16
names(shp_df)
##  [1] "g1b15"      "g1g15_encl" "g1g15_li"   "g1g15"      "g1k15"     
##  [6] "g1l15"      "g1r15"      "g1s15"      "g2b15"      "g2g15_encl"
## [11] "g2g15_li"   "g2g15"      "g2k15"      "g2l15"      "g2r15"     
## [16] "g2s15"
# Data description
?shp_df

Some maps

data("maps2")
names(maps2)
##  [1] "g1b15"      "g1g15_encl" "g1g15_li"   "g1g15"      "g1k15"     
##  [6] "g1l15"      "g1r15"      "g1s15"      "g2b15"      "g2g15_encl"
## [11] "g2g15_li"   "g2g15"      "g2k15"      "g2l15"      "g2r15"     
## [16] "g2s15"
# By name
maps2[["g1k15"]]

# By index
maps2[[5]]

The objects contained in maps2 are ggplot objects. They have been created with ggplot2::ggplot plus a ggplot2::geom_path layer with the data in shp_df. As an example, the previous map is the same as:

ggplot(shp_df[["g1k15"]], aes(x = long, y = lat, group = group)) +
  geom_path() +
  coord_equal() +
  theme_white_f()
