The below is starting to get close to the Firefox Download Analytics Map, but I've still got a bit to go. Any insights or feedback about ways to improve the code below to more closely resemble the Firefox Download plot are greatly appreciated. Specifically, I would like to improve the presentation of the countries, i.e. removing Antarctica.
(1) I posted the input data and the current plot to the following location: http://stuff.2489251.n2.nabble.com/Trying-to-produce-the-Firefox-Download-Figure-td5101428.html#a5101428 (2) Below is the code I've come up with so far: library(sp) library(Hmisc) library(maptools) shp <- readShapeSpatial('32752') colors <- c("lightsteelblue3","deepskyblue3","darkblue", "goldenrod1","darkorange2","firebrick4") cuts <- c(1000, 5000, 10000, 50000, 100000, 500000) write.csv(shp$CNTRY_NAME, 'WorldShapeFileListings.csv') world_data <- read.csv('WorldData2010.csv') world_data$Col <- as.integer(cut2(world_data$Downloads,cuts=cuts)) shpA <- shp[match(world_data$place, shp$CNTRY_NAME),] png("WorldMap2010.png", width=620, height=400) plot(shpA, col=colors[world_data$Col], border=gray(.85)) legend("bottomleft",legend=c("1K", "5K", "10K", "50K", "100K", "500K+"), fill=colors, title="Total Downloads") title("Firefox Downloads") dev.off() ----- Original Message ---- From: Jason Rupert <jasonkrup...@yahoo.com> To: R Project Help <R-help@r-project.org> Sent: Fri, May 21, 2010 7:55:07 PM Subject: [R] Creating the Firefox Download Analytics Map in R By any chance has anyone put together the R code for reproducing the Firefox Downloads Analytics Map in R? Here is a link to an example: http://www.knitwareblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/firefox-3-download-map.jpg I'll try to track down the inputs, but I am interested in putting the code to produce this or something similar. Any hints about the best packages, or references to R Blog posts that may discuss the code necessary to produce this or a similar plot is very much appreciated. Thanks again for all the insights and feedback. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
