删除美国州边界，在 ggplot2/geom_polygon 中创建轮廓区域

我正在绘制下表，显示美国的多重耐药性趋势：

按地区划分的 MDR

使用以下代码：

states_map

m <- ggplot(ncftrendsort, aes(map_id = region)) + 
     geom_map(aes(fill = ncftrendsort$mdr), map = states_map, color = 'black') + 
     expand_limits(x = states_map$long, y = states_map$lat) + 
     theme_classic() + 
     scale_fill_continuous(name = "% MDR", low = 'white', high = 'black') +
     theme(axis.title.y = element_blank()) + 
     theme(axis.title.x = element_blank()) + 
     theme(axis.line = element_blank()) + 
     theme(axis.ticks = element_blank()) + 
     theme(axis.text.x = element_blank()) + 
     theme(axis.text.y = element_blank()) + 
     ggtitle('Regional Multi-Drug Resistant PSA (non-CF Patients), 1999-2012') + 
     theme(plot.title = element_text(size = 13, vjust = 2)) + facet_grid(Years ~.)

Which creates this:

The map and data are all working just fine, but I want to remove the state borders and outline the regions I've delineated (capital-R 'Region' in dataset), so the map looks more like this:

这些地图是不同的数据，因此解决方案不会匹配......而且我不担心轴标题或其他差异，只是担心区域边界。然而，我也想知道如何添加区域标签，如上面的顶部/白色/空地图中。尝试添加 geom_polygon 图层并认为这是关键，但我无法让它勾勒出我创建的区域。谢谢大家的帮助！！希望数据集适用于 dl...如果有更好的方法将文件共享到 SO，请发表评论。

由于某种原因，内置的 ggplot 多边形组合无法解决此问题，因此我使用单独的 shapefile 从头开始​​完成。

您会想要改变一些或大部分的美学。这只是一个例子。

注意：您的数据确实需要一些清理（错误的名称和拼写错误的状态）。
