Strange behaviour in "points"

Hi

I'm using R Version 1.4.0 Patched (2002-01-16) in a SuSE 7.1 box.

I've a plot with the european coastline. After I want to plot a single
point in the map using points, but it plots this point in the wrong
place.

Why is this happening ? Is there a known problem of the points function
?

Regards

EJ

plot(eucoast,type="l")
points(c(-15.0,57.5))

Let me guess, and sorry if I am wrong:

You want to plot the point at   
x = -15
y = 57.5

but you told R to plot it at:
x = 1, 2
y = -15, 57.5

So what you should try is:
points(-15.0, 57.5)

ps: shall I send the dat file with the eu coastline ? it?s 56 Kbytes
compressed.

Maybe there is no need to do this, but if so, just put it on your web
page and tell us the location (reducing bandwidth).
