#2011 Census Open Atlas
##Aim The code contained in this repository was used to create version two of the England and Wales 2011 Open Census Atlas. This uses the bulk census download files from Nomis alongside boundaries supplied by the ONS. All of which are open data.
This script is written in R, and hopefully clear enough that it could be replicated. The atlas files are not hosted on github, however, are linked to a separate download server.
Towards the end of the script there are two external libraries called from the terminal - these are PDFCrop, which crops the PDF maps and legends to their bounding extent; and PDFTK, which is used to join PDF files together. The atlases are generated using LaTex, and as such, this would also be required for the R script to run. This code may not work under windows without adaption, and it has only been tested to run on OSX.
##Atlas Downloads The atlases are available to download here: http://www.alex-singleton.com/Open-Atlas/
