Sweden map data set

A dataset used to create elegant figures of Sweden with ggplot2.

swe_allpoints

Format

A data frame with 407898 rows and 5 variables. The negligible variables with just one type of observation have been removed from the original data set:

long

longitude, numeric

lat

latitude, numeric

order

specifies the order for each point, integer

piece

"1" if point belongs to mainland, "2" if point belongs to Gotland (largest island in Sweden), "3" if point belongs to Öland, "4" if point belongs to Orust or Tjörn, "5" if point belongs to Fårö, everything else if point belongs to any other smaller island, factor

group

Each region in the map is a polygon where "1.1" if point belongs to mainland, "1.2" if point belongs to Gotland (largest island in Sweden), "1.3" if point belongs to Öland, "1.4" if point belongs to Orust or Tjörn, "1.5" if point belongs to Fårö, everything else if point belongs to any other smaller island, factor

Examples

# Example on how to make map of Sweden using ggplot2.
# Note that coord_map() is essential for the map to be in actual scale.
