Can we create maps in Rstudio?
Static mapping in R is straightforward with the plot() function, as we saw in Section 2.2. It is possible to create advanced maps using base R methods (Murrell 2016). The focus of this chapter, however, is cartography with dedicated map-making packages.

What is TMAP R?
The tmap package is a brand new easy way to plot thematic maps in R. Thematic maps are geographical maps in which spatial data distributions are visualized. This package offers a flexible, layer-based, and easy to use approach to create thematic maps, such as choropleths and bubble maps.
What is trust mapping?
Trust Mapping equips schools to proactively identify the social connections of students. Identifying issues before they become problematic.
Is Tidyverse better than base R?
Tidyverse is easy to use if you are familiar with it, the codes might be more readable than those written in base R, but you will surely encounter problems that you have to solve in base R. Or that are easier to solve, or that are easier to find solution for.
