Hi everybody Does any of you know how to mimick the functionality of the Splus library "maps " in R? I.E.:I'd like to draw contours of the US and individual states, and be able to overlay points by giving lat/long coordinates to points() or text() functions. I'd be a happy camper with just the state-level resolution. . . .
A port to R without projection by Ray Brownrigg is available on: ftp://ftp.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/pub/statistics/map/ with versions for Linux/Intel or Solaris/Sparc - it's largish, because it includes the binary versions of the databases. It was last updated in September 2000. It was first mentioned in r-help on 13 November 1999, with the above address. I can confirm that it works for 1.3.0 on RH7.0 Linux Intel:
map('state')
Happy camping! Roger
