Choropleth maps issues in shiny

[Arevaju]

Hi Ramnathv,

Congratulations!! The work that you have done with rMaps and rCharts is pretty amazing!!

I am developing a shiny app to generate choropleth maps based on your ichoropleth function. However I faced several problems so I would like to know if there is a simple way to overcome those:

• The incompatibility with rMaps and Shiny (the legend is not shown in the app). This issue was discussed here https://github.com/ramnathv/rMaps/issues/5 but I am not sure if there is any update on this.
• For a custom choropleth map the dataUrl only works if files are stored in Dropbox but not in a local directory.
• I was wondering if it would be possible to display the choropleth maps from the ichoropleth function together with some background maps such as the Stamen Map (some sort of integration with Leaflet).

The application that I am developing can be found at: https://github.com/Arevaju/shiny-maps or using shiny: runGitHub('shiny-maps', 'Arevaju'). I would be happy to contribute with some examples.

Thanks,

Juan

@Arevaju Hi Juan,

I ran your app but did not see any choropleth maps come up. Were you successful in getting them to render, even without the legend? If so could you let me know how you defined them in server.R and ui.R to get them to work in shiny?

Thanks! K
