\title{Create United States Uniform Cartogram Heatmaps}
|
|
\description{
|
|
The cartogram heatmaps generated by the included methods
|
|
are an alternative to choropleth maps for the United States
|
|
and are based on work by the Washington Post graphics department in their report
|
|
on "The states most threatened by trade"
|
|
(\url{http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/business/states-most-threatened-by-trade/}).
|
|
"State bins" preserve as much of the geographic placement of the states as
|
|
possible but have the look and feel of a traditional heatmap. Functions are
|
|
provided that allow for use of a binned, discrete scale, a continuous scale
|
|
or manually specified colors depending on what is needed for the underlying data.
