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:
Happy camping!
