Thanks for sharing.
I’m trying to execute your code but I’m always getting this error when I try to print out the result:

Error : Discrete value supplied to continuous scale

Do you have any clue?

Thanks

Comment on Mapped: British, Spanish and Dutch Shipping 1750-1800 by clive wilkinson

A point about the Atlantic Triangle. The British logbooks were entirely East India ships or naval vessels. The Dutch likewise were VOC plus a few naval vessels. The Spanish were mostly the postal service ships with a handful of naval vessels. No slave ships were used, and very few logs from these are extant anyway. Please be careful how you interpret this data. CLIWOC selected in the British case at least, the best of thousands of potential logs, based mainly on, long voyages and temporal and geographic data gaps. The choice was very selective.

Thanks for this simple introduction.

I was able to make the graphic on my computer, but cannot do so with others. If there is an easy way, please let me know.

Thanks, again.
