mplotMap

Render a simple world map of a coordinate-based (cell) magpie object. Each grid cell is drawn as a colored tile on top of country outlines. Country outlines require the suggested package maps; if it is not installed, only the cell tiles are drawn and a message is emitted. If the object contains more than one year or data name, the remaining dimensions are spread across facets, so it is usually best to subset the object to the slice(s) of interest before plotting.

Usage

mplotMap(px, draw = TRUE)

Arguments

px

The magpie object to be visualized. It must contain spatial coordinates (see hasCoords).

draw

Logical. If TRUE (the default), the plot is rendered on the current graphics device. If FALSE, the ggplot object is returned without drawing, so it can be modified or printed manually later.

Value

Invisibly returns the ggplot object.
