Package: DHBins 1.3

DHBins: Hexmaps for NZ District Health Boards

Draws stylized choropleth maps -- hexagonal maps and triangular multiclass hex maps -- for New Zealand District Health Boards and Regional Council areas. These allow faceted, coloured displays of quantitative information for comparison across District Health Boards or Regional Councils. The preprint Lumley (2019) <arxiv:1912.04435> is based on the methods in this package.
