Objective

The purpose of this tutorial is to use RStudio in order to create a thematic hexbin map. Users will have the opportunity to explore the spatial capabilities of the software and learn more about advanced cartographic design. This tutorial contributes to the collection of Open Source GIS tutorials created by Carleton University students.

The objective of this tutorial is to create a hexbin choropleth map of U.S. education costs. Users will learn how to create a hexbin map from a geospatial object and plot thematic openly available data. This tutorial will additionally demonstrate how to add cartographic elements including symbolization and labelling.
