Plot 2 tmap objects side-by-side

Question

Example:

I want to plot two tmap plots side by side, which are generated by this code.

library(tmap)
library(gridExtra)

data(World)         


        

Answer 1

I was wondering if in the meantime it has become possible to plot the 5 maps in the following example side by side without switching to tm_facets(ncol=5).

data(NLD_prov, NLD_muni)

tmap_mode("plot")
tm_shape(NLD_muni) +
tm_fill(c("pop_0_14", "pop_15_24", "pop_25_44", "pop_45_64", "pop_65plus"),
        style="kmeans", 
        palette=list("Oranges", "Greens", "Blues", "Purples", "Greys"),
        title=c("Population 0 to 14", "Population 15 to 24", "Population 25 to 44",
                "Population 45 to 64", "Population 65 and older")) +
tm_shape(NLD_prov) +
tm_borders() +
tm_format_NLD(frame = TRUE, asp=0)
