but a copy can
be obtained by a user when a large number of changes are required. This is not recommended.
The primary purpose of this section is to provide a list and description of
many of the variables in the details list that can be used to enable or disable
functions of micromapST and it's glyphics. This variable are identified by a "*" after
the variable name. These are the only variables that generally safe to be modified by
the user.Details
The micromapSTDefaults data.frame is built by the micromapSTSetDefaults function
when the micromapST package is called. Once built it cannot be changed.
To change one or two (a few) variables, construct a list of these variables and pass
it to micromapST via the details parameter in the call.
To do large scale customization, call the micromapSTSetDefaults function to get
a copy of the entire data.frame and modify this copy. This is not recommended.
