rworldmap

Good morning, I have spent a lot of time to figure out how can I add a country names directly on plot not like a part of legend, but like part of map. Im using package rworldmap, tried to use identifyCountries () - but it something for interaction (when a user clicks on the map), than I have found a such solution Administrative regions map of a country with ggmap and ggplot2 but it's for ggplot2, and too complicated. Im trying to do it with mapCountryData() . Hope for your help, thanks. data <- data.frame(Country=c('Russia','Cyprus', 'Belize', 'Austria' ,'Virgin Islands', 'Italy','United

I want to plot multiple maps using rworldmap, where each column is a separate month and the rows are years. I know this can be done in ggmap using facet_grid. How can I do this using rworldmap? For example, the mydata file contains columns for the latitude , longitude , month and year of each point. My code so far: library(rworldmap) newmap <- getMap(resolution = "high") plot(newmap, xlim = c(110, 155), ylim = c(-35, -20), asp = 1) p1 <- read.csv("mydata.csv") points(p1$lon, p1$lat, col = "red", cex = .5) To plot multiple maps using rworldmap, you could use layout and a couple of loops to

I want to create multiple maps (similar to this example) using the apply family. Here a small sample of my code (~200 rows x 150 cols). (UN and ISO3 are codes for rworldmap): df <- structure(list(BLUE.fruits = c(12803543, 3745797, 19947613, 0, 130, 4), BLUE.nuts = c(21563867, 533665, 171984, 0, 0, 0), BLUE.veggies = c(92690, 188940, 34910, 0, 0, 577), GREEN.fruits = c(3389314, 15773576, 8942278, 0, 814, 87538 ), GREEN.nuts = c(6399474, 1640804, 464688, 0, 0, 0), GREEN.veggies = c(15508, 174504, 149581, 0, 0, 6190), UN = structure(c(4L, 5L, 1L, 6L, 2L, 3L), .Label = c("12", "24", "28", "4", "8"

I want to draw barchart over map as on this page: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16162_01/web.1112/e16181/dv_map.htm#BEHHAFEJ I used following data and code but it is not working. ddf = read.table(header=T, sep=",", text=" country, val1, val2, val3 Nigeria,5,10,8 China,8,12,20 Brazil,15,9,20 Italy,9,25,5 Australia,15,5,25 ") require (rworldmap) sPDF <- joinCountryData2Map(ddf , joinCode = "NAME" , nameJoinColumn = "country" , verbose = TRUE) mapBars( sPDF, , nameZs=c(ddf$val1, ddf$val2, ddf$val3) , symbolSize=4 ) How can I correct this? Please help. Edit: I tried using code in answer below but I

I would like to use R to generate a very basic world map with a specific set of countries filled with a red colour to indicate that they are malaria endemic countries. I have a list of these countries in a data frame but am struggling to overlay them on a world map. I have tried using the wrld_simpl object and also the joinCountryData2Map method in the rworldmap package. I would comment on this answer to prevent addition of a possibly redundant question but I do not have enough reputation at the moment, apologies for this. https://stackoverflow.com/a/9102797/1470099 I am having difficulty

I have a list of latitude and longitude coordinates, and wish to find out which country they all reside in. I modified an answer from this question about lat-long to US states , and have a working function, but I run into the problem that the worldHires map (from the mapdata package) is hideously out of date and contains a lot of obsolete countries such as Yugoslavia and the USSR. How would I modify this function to use a more modern package, such as rworldmap ? I have only managed to frustrate myself so far... library(sp) library(maps) library(rgeos) library(maptools) # The single argument to
