KansasBG border group datasets to support creating micromaps for the 105 counties in the state of Kansas
Description
The micromapST function has the ability to generate linked micromaps for
any geographical area. To specify the geographical area, the bordGrp
call argument is used to specify the border group dataset for the geographical area.
When micromapST function is used to micromap data for Kansas County area, the
border group option (bordGrp)
is set to "KansasBG". This instructs micromapST to load the area Name, Abbreviation,
ID and boundaries files for Kansas 105 counties.
The datasets contained in the border group are areaNamesAbbrsIDs, areaVisBorders,
L2VisBorders, and
L3VisBorders for the counties of the state Kansas.
The user's data is then linked to the boundary data via the county's name,
abbreviated name or ID based on the table below.
Details
The border group contains the following data.frames::
- areaParms
- contains specific parameters for the border group
- areaNamesAbbrsIDs
- containing the names, abbreviations, and numerical identifier for the counties in the state of Kansas.
- areaVisBorders
- the boundary point lists for each county area in Kansas.
- L2VisBorders
- the boundaries for an intermediate level. For state areas, this boundary data is not used and set to L3VisBorders as a place holder.
- RegVisBorders
- the boundaries for an intermediate level. For state areas, this boundary data is not used and set to L3VisBorders as a place holder.
- L3VisBorders
- the boundary of the state of Kansas
The Kansas county border group contains 105 county sub-areas. Each county has a row in the areaNamesAbbrsIDs data.frame and a set of polygons in the areaVisBorders data.frame datasets. No regions are defined in the Kansas county border group, so the L2VisBorders and RegVisBorders datasets are not used and the regions feations is disabled. The L3VisBorders dataset contains the outline of the state of Kansas.
The details on each of these data.frame structures can be found in the "bordGrp" section of this document. The areaNamesAbbrsIDs data.frame provides the linkages to the boundary data for each sub-area (county) using the fullname, abbreviation, and numerical identifier for each country to the <statsDFrame> data based on the setting of the rowNames call parameter.
A column or the data.frame row.names must match one of the types of names in the areaNamesAbbrsIDs data.frame name table. If the data row does not match a value in the name table, an warning is issued and the data is ignored. If no data is present for a sub-area (county) in the name table, the sub-area (county) is mapped but not colored.
The following are a list of the names, abbreviations, and IDs for each country in the KansasBG border group.
