Maps Do Not Display (R 3.1.1, RStudio 0.98.1074)

[LogicallySkewed]

I have some data I have been trying to create some maps for and have been exploring CrossLet and DataMaps in the rMaps package. Unfortunately I can’t seem to get any of them to work. The same goes for the rMaps examples (see https://github.com/ramnathv/rMaps). I’ve tried searching the Internet for solutions and the rMaps issues pages but have not had any luck finding a solution. When I run my data and the examples I get blank maps. Here is the information about my computer and software versions:

• R version 3.1.1
• RStudio version 0.98.1074
• Windows 7 Enterprise w/Service Pack 1
• System Type: 64-bit
• RAM: 4.00 GB
• Processor: Intel Core i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz

What should I try in order to fix this?

Thank you in advance.

I am aware that there is an issue with crosslet, but other functions should work. Can you post your sessionInfo() and the exact code you tried that did not work?

Here is my sessionInfo():

I tried this CrossLet example:
library(rMaps)
crosslet(
x = "country",
y = c("web_index", "universal_access", "impact_empowerment", "freedom_openness"),
data = web_index
)

and this DataMaps example:
ichoropleth(Crime ~ State, data = violent_crime, animate = "Year")

UPDATE:
I managed to get the ichoropleth to work. For some reason the State variable was of type Integer instead of Character. I still have not had any luck with crosslet. Do you have an update on the issue with crosslet?

[andygarcia]

I'm seeing the same issue - only with crosslet.

Attempted to run the sample code:

crosslet(
  x = "country", 
  y = c("web_index", "universal_access", "impact_empowerment", "freedom_openness"),
  data = web_index
)

[tonipleite]

Hi,

@cantgetthatping I tried using this about a month ago and I had the same problem, Is the issue caused by one of the JS files?

By the way @ramnathv, congrats, it's an amazing tool.

[bryanvictor]

@ramnathv this tool is simply incredible. Any updates on the resolution? I am experiencing the same issues...

[yuuniverse4444]

Got similar problem.

[malouche]

It looks like is the problem of everyone... did someone has solved it?

[bobokdalibor]

Hi, is there any chance that the crosslet function will be working again? I like the functionality of it, didn't found any alternative to simply filter the tiles based on attributes. Thanks
