Thematic Cartography

Create and integrate maps in your R workflow. This package helps to design cartographic representations such as proportional symbols, choropleth, typology, flows or discontinuities maps. It also offers several features that improve the graphic presentation of maps, for instance, map palettes, layout elements (scale, north arrow, title...), labels or legends. See Giraud and Lambert (2017) .

Consider mapsf

There are no plans for new features or enhancements in cartography.
Basic maintenance and support will continue indefinitely.
Existing projects that use cartography can safely continue to use cartography.
The mapsf R package is the successor of cartography and it is friendlier, lighter and more robust.
See mapsf website to migrate from cartography to mapsf.
