S-PLUS code for drawing images as a map
File res12c.txt (data for image map program above)
File stat2.txt (data for image map program above)
Note: Lingsong has informed me that (contrary what I thought) it IS possible to produce similar maps in R.
Download the "maps" package from the CRAN central website, and then load it.
The statement
map('state')
produces a USA map exactly like the one in S-PLUS. There are other
options as well - type
help('map')
for documentation.
Note that the "image" function works a different way in R from S-PLUS, but there's enough documentation on that, you should be able to figure it out for yourself.
