News

ggswissmaps 0.1.1

The object maps2 is now created when the package is loaded. This has reduced the installed size of the package to about 1 MB.

ggswissmaps 0.1.0

The code of the maps2_() function has been shortened, with the introduction of theme_white_f. The result of the function is the same.
The number of data frames with map coordinates has been reduced from 16 to 8 (shp_df data).
Object theme_white has been deleted. This object used panel.margin argument, that will be deprecated in the next release of ggplot2. Instead of changing it to the new argument panel.spacing, we deleted it since in any case it was no more used and neither exported to the NAMESPACE.
Added single quotes around ggplot2 in DESCRIPTION and other documentation.
