R tutorial: Creating Maps and mapping data with ggplot2

This video shows you how you can simply create country maps in R and then colour code countries according to some data, in this case % of the population having received a covid vaccine. I'll show you how you can alter the map properties and even put your own logo on the map.

Simple, clear, to the point and very easy to follow at the same time. Thank you for this nice work.

Best explanation of mapping in R I have found till now and I have been researching a lot!

[barbaraedler]

Your tutorial helped me a lot in plotting my data. Thanks.

[denizgoktas]

It's a clear and straigthforward explanation. Thanks.

Thanks. Although instead of a left join and then filtering you would probably get the same result with a right join

Cool tutorial, thanks! I'm just getting into R and I found this to be very helpful.
Edit: Give my regards to Bill too.

Some of the countries look a bit distorted such as Spain and Iceland. You might play with the projection type by changing the "crs" (coordinate reference system).

[saherakhan]

Thanks for the tutorial and the codes.

[wasafisafi]

Thank you for a wonderful presentation

Thank you for this video! How would you go about keeping the records of NA values to still have the country showing on the map but blank on the inside so it does not influence the color scale of the legend?

[gridsanawadeepantasri]

Thanks!, Really helpful better than my textbook!!

[haraldurkarlsson]

Nice demo of ggplot plotting maps.
There is a short-cut for eliminating NAs - namely: drop_na(Perc_vaccinated).

[drnikford]

fabulous! what do you do if you do not have and equivalent value in your dataset for region (or any other)? instead, one might have "area" or "code"

Hi, this tutorial is really good and easy to follow, I have created the same map, But I'm having difficulty adding scale_bar or annotation_scale, Could you please show this to viewer how they can add these scales.

[santijaumes]

I love your tutorial, it was quite helpful when I was trying to do a map.

Is it possible to add countries to the map with a value of 0?, maybe not in the gradient, but afterward just add a country?

That would be very helpful to me.

I get it！I made a mistake by excluding gorup=group in aes and got a messed up map, now corrected it

[bankolefalade]

its not showing Democratic Republic of Congo and Congo Kinshasa, any reason, maybe input names are different. United States will only load when wriiten as USA. thanks for a great workshop

[lucgardygermain]

Thank you! the video was really helping to get me started4
