What makes it easier?
- minimaxir 12y agoLooking at the code used in the OP, ggmaps does not require a dependy on a different program (and it also used a .dll, which may make it difficult to use cross-platform as well.). ggmaps also used ggplot2 syntax, making it easy for style customization which I don't see in the original code. Although, using a shapefile adds another R package dependency, but not much more LOC. Alternatively, use the maps package, which also contains data for reconstructing popular maps like the world map used.
- sremani 12y agoI am a novice in F# and pretty much have no idea about R, but what I can see here is that World Bank Type provider is providing the OP with the data.
- minimaxir 12y agoCorrect in this case, but you could use a simple CSV to get World Bank data as well.
- tonyabell 12y agoF# and its Type Providers have a strong cross platform story. http://fsharp.org/use/linux/ http://fsharp.org/use/linux/ All the dlls referenced in the OP work on non windows platforms.
