Hi I want to overlay two world map plots using rworldmap, but the blow code does not work, it only shows map2. Can anyone help me with this please?
library(rworldmap)
data(countryExData)
sPDF <- joinCountryData2Map(countryExData
, joinCode="ISO3"
, nameJoinColumn="ISO3V10")
#map1
mapDevice()
map1 <- mapCountryData(sPDF, nameColumnToPlot='BIODIVERSITY')
#map2
map1 + mapBubbles(sPDF, nameZSize="ECOSYSTEM")
You can call par(new = TRUE)
after plotting the first map. The second map will then be plotted on top. For details see documentation.
Updated code:
library(rworldmap)
data(countryExData)
sPDF <- joinCountryData2Map(countryExData,
joinCode = "ISO3",
nameJoinColumn = "ISO3V10")
#map1
mapDevice()
mapCountryData(sPDF, nameColumnToPlot = 'BIODIVERSITY')
# draw next frame as if it were on a new device
par(new=TRUE)
#map2
mapBubbles(sPDF, nameZSize = "ECOSYSTEM")
