Visualizing German Unemployment with Infomaps in R

[admin]

At the R You Ready blog, there's yet another look at creating choropleth maps, following on from last week's challenge to visualize US unemployment data in a color-coded map. This time around, the map is for German Unemployment. There are a couple of twists to the process though: this time, the map comes from GADM, and the data-matching problems are solved with fuzzy matching (via the agrep function). The result: beautiful.
