cartography-package

The cartography package proposes thematic mapping functions.
It allows various cartographic representation:

Create and integrate maps in your R workflow. This package allows various cartographic representations: proportional symbols, chroropleth, typology, flows, discontinuities... It also proposes some additional useful features: cartographic palettes, layout (scale, north arrow, title...), labels, legends, access to cartographic API...
