# geofacet 

This R package provides geofaceting functionality for ggplot2. Geofaceting arranges a sequence of plots of data for different geographical entities into a grid that strives to preserve some of the original geographical orientation of the entities. It's easiest to describe with examples. See below.

## Install

```r

install.packages("geofacet")

# or from github:

# remotes::install_github("hafen/geofacet")

```

## Example

See [here](https://hafen.github.io/geofacet/) for the package vignette.

Barchart of state rankings in various categories:

```r

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(state_ranks, aes(variable, rank, fill = variable)) +

  geom_col() +

  coord_flip() +

  facet_geo(~ state) +

  theme_bw()

```

Unemployment rate time series for each state:

```r

ggplot(state_unemp, aes(year, rate)) +

  geom_line() +

  facet_geo(~ state, grid = "us_state_grid2") +

  scale_x_continuous(labels = function(x) paste0("'", substr(x, 3, 4))) +

  ylab("Unemployment Rate (%)")

```

GDP per capita in relation to EU index (100) for each country in the European Union:

```r

ggplot(eu_gdp, aes(year, gdp_pc)) +

  geom_line(color = "steelblue") +

  facet_geo(~ name, grid = "eu_grid1", scales = "free_y") +

  scale_x_continuous(labels = function(x) paste0("'", substr(x, 3, 4))) +

  ylab("GDP Per Capita in Relation to EU Index (100)") +

  theme_bw()

```
