I am trying to put on a Italian geographical map a dot reporting the provenience ('provincia') of our patients. Ideally, the dot size should be proportional to the number of patients coming from that 'provincia'. An example of the list I would like to plot is the following.
MI 8319
CO 537
MB 436
VA 338
BG 310
PV 254
CR 244
NO 210
RM 189
CS 179
In the first column there is the 'provincia' code: MI (Milano), CO (Como), MB (Monza-Brianza), etc. In the second column there is the number of patients from that 'provincia'. So the output should be an Italian political map where the biggest dot is around the city of Milano (MI), the second biggest dot is near the city of Como (CO), the third one is around the city of Monza-Brianza (MB),etc. Is there any package that could do the plot I am looking for? I found a tool that could do the job here, but apparently they expect that I load the geographical coordinates in order to do the plot.
