Description

The barmap function plots an attribute of a map data. It also returns tabular data:frequencies

Usage

barmap(source,layer='',attribute,type='',label="",col='',factor='')
"barmap"(source,layer='',attribute,type='',label="",col='',factor='')
"print"(x,...)
"summary"(object,...)
"plot"(x,...)

Arguments

source

Folder path of the layer or map. Please quote the full folder path with forward slash "/". You can use R object as a source but you must set the layer parameter to "nofile"; see below

layer

The layer map in the folder that you want to work with. It is the file name of map. This is case sensitive, please. In case you want to use non spatial data such as ".csv", ".txt", "dat" or ".tab" insert the file name as layer. In case of using R object as a source set layer to "nofile"

type

The type of bar chart you want to plot. It can take "simple", "group","stack"; Set the "type" to "map" if you want a map to be drawn for the attribute

attribute

The attribute name of the layer or the map you want use. In case you of using non spatial data such as ".csv", ".txt", "dat" or ".tab" attributes are variables or column names

any other R parameters can be added
