UKIrelandBG {micromapST}R Documentation

UKIrelandBG border group datasets contains the boundary information for the United Kingdom and Ireland.

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. The UKIrelandBG border group dataset supports creating linked micromaps for the all of the United Kingdom including Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man and Ireland. When the bordGrp call argument is set to UKIrelandBG, the appropriate name table (county names and abbreviations) and the 219 sub-areas (counties, etc.) boundary data is loaded into micromapST. The user's data is then linked to the boundary data via the name, abbreviation, or alternate abbreviation for each sub-area (county, etc.).

The United Kingdom and Ireland information was pulled from the UK and Ireland public web sites in March of 2015.

The UKIreland border group was constructed to provide an area with more than 100 sub-areas for testing micromapST and enhancing it's ability to handle a large number of sub-areas and generate usable linked micromaps.

Details

The UKIrelandBG border group dataset contains the following data.frames:

areaParms

- contains specific parameters for the border group

areaNamesAbbrsIDs

- containing the names, abbreviations, alternate abbreviation, or numerical identifier for each of the United Kingdom or Ireland counties.

areaVisBorders

- the boundary point lists for each sub-area.

L2VisBorders

- the boundaries for an intermediate level. For the United Kingdom and Ireland border group, this boundary point list is not used and is set to equal L3VisBorders data.frame for the border group.

RegVisBorders

- the boundaries for the 4 United Kingdom and Ireland regions or realms: England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Isle of Man.

L3VisBorders

- the boundary of the United Kingdom and Ireland area.

The UKIreland border group contains 219 sub-areas (counties, etc.) Each registry has a row in the areaNamesAbbrsIDs data.frame and a set of polygons in the areaVisBorders data.frame datasets. Regions are defined in this border group as the 6 country and kingdom regions in the UK and Ireland. The regions feature is enable. The siz (6) regions are: England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Ireland and Isle of Man.

When compiling the abbreviations for this border group, multiple sets of abbreviations were found. The two most common sets are included in the border group as "ab" and "alt_ab" types of rowNames.

The L3VisBorders dataset contains the outline of the UK and Ireland.

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 (registry) using the fullname, abbreviation, alternate abbreviation and numerical identifier for each county/provence to the <statsDFrame> data based on the setting of the rowNames call argument.

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 in the name table, the sub-area is mapped but not colored.

The dataRegionsOnly call parameter instructs the package to only map the regions with Seer registers with data. The regions are the four census regions: England, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Man, Northern Irelend and Ireland.
