Quickly make a ggplot to view data by geographic level

Source: R/geo_level_plot.R

This is a quick way to make a bar chart, a Cleveland dotplot, or a histogram from a set of data, filled by geographic level.

geo_level_plot(
  data,
  name = name,
  value = value,
  level = level,
  type = c("col", "hist", "point"),
  hilite = "dodgerblue",
  title = NULL,
  dark_gray = "gray20",
  light_gray = "gray60",
  ...
)

hilite

String giving the highlight color, used for the lowest geography present.

title

String giving the title, if desired, for the plot.

dark_gray

String giving the named gray color for the highest geography; defaults "gray20".
