But how to best visualize spatial data? …

In the last 23 days I presented one function each day from the helfRlein package we created here at STATWORX. I hope you found some of the functions useful and had some fun discovering new ways of doing things with R! Since today is Christmas, only one thing remains to say: To see all functions you can either check out …
