Hi, I just started playing with county FIPS feature in maps package which allows geospatial visualization of variables on US county level. Pretty cool.
Got code?
I did some search but couldn't find answer to this question--how can I map more than 2 variables on US map?
"2 variables" is a bit on the vague side for programming purposes.
For example, you can map by the breakdown of income or family size. How do you further breakdown based on the values of both variables and show them on the county FIPS level?
"breakdown" suggests a factor construct. If so, then : ?interaction But the "show" part of the question remains very vague. Can't you be a bit more specific? What DO you want?
