How keep information from shapefile after fortify()
Since you did not provide your shapefile or data, it's impossible to test, but something like this should work:
# not tested...
library(plyr) # for join(...)
library(rgdal) # for readOGR(...)
library(ggplot2) # for fortify(...)
mapa <- readOGR(dsn=".",layer="shapefile name w/o .shp extension")
map@data$id <- rownames(mapa@data)
mapa@data <- join(mapa@data, data, by="CD_GEOCODI")
mapa.df <- fortify(mapa)
mapa.df <- join(mapa.df,mapa@data, by="id")
ggplot(mapa.df, aes(x=long, y=lat, group=group))+
geom_polygon(aes(fill=Population))+
coord_fixed()
Maybe this is a slightly simpler solution
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)
# fortify the shape file
map.df <- fortify(shape, region ="CD_GEOCODI")
# merge data
map.df <- left_join(map.df, data, by=c('id'='CD_GEOCODI'))
