Programming Language

Stata

Abstract

maptile makes it easy to map a variable in Stata. It generates choropleth maps, where each area is shaded according to the value of the variable being plotted. By default, maptile divides the geographic units into equal-sized bins (corresponding to quantiles of the plotted variable), then colors the bins in increasing intensity. To generate any particular map, maptile uses a geography, which is a template for that map. These need to be downloaded and installed. If no geography currently exists for the region you want to map, you can create a new one.
