Drawing maps in Stata using geoplot

geoplot is a new Stata command for drawing maps from shape files and other datasets. Multiple layers of elements such as regions, borders, lakes, roads, labels, and symbols can be freely combined and the look of elements (e.g. their color) can be varied depending on the values of variables. Compared to previous solutions in Stata, geoplot provides more user convenience, more functionality, and more flexibility. In this talk I will give an overview of the command and illustrate its use with examples.
