germany.plot {spam} | R Documentation

## Plot administrative districts of Germany

### Description

Displaying data over the administrative districts of Germany

### Usage

    germany.plot(vect,  col=NULL, zlim=range(vect), legend=TRUE,
                 main=NULL, cex.axis=1, add=FALSE, ... )

### Arguments

`vect` | vector of length 544
`col` | color scheme to be used. By default uses `colorRampPalette(brewer.pal(9,"Blues"))(100)`.
`zlim` | the minimum and maximum values for which colors should be plotted, defaulting to the range of `data`.
`legend` | Should the legend be added, see ‘Details’.
`main` | an overall title for the plot.
`cex.axis` | label size of legend.
`add` | logical, if true adds to current plot.
`...` | additional arguments passed to `polygon`.

### Details

The legend is only added, provided (a) function `image.plot` is available.

The perfect position of the legend is an art per se and depends on various `par` parameters. One possiblity for finer control is to not plot it and to manually call the function `image.plot` of fields.
