Hi,

If you are thinking of micromaps, I'm not aware of any code, but for 
conditioned choropleth (CC) maps, I have some code, which is not yet 
polished enough for release, but does work. The references are:

Carr D, Wallin J, Carr D (2000) Two new templates for epidemiology 
applications: linked micromap plots and conditioned choropleth maps. 
Statistics in Medicine 19(17-18):2521–2538

Carr D, White D, MacEachren A (2005) Conditioned choropleth maps and 
hypothesis generation. Annals of the Association of American Geographers 
95(1):32–53

with a good example in:

Friendly M (2007) A.-M. Guerry’s Moral Statistics of France: challenges 
for multivariable spatial analysis. Statistical Science 22(3):368–399

Please let me know if you'd like a copy of my function.

Best wishes,

Roger
