Hello,
I am using the maps library for plotting maps.
To build new geograhical sets such as Europe I use
europe = c('Germany','Netherlands',...)
Is there a list of county codes used by the map function.
Thanks,
Berthold

If you mean the names of the countries, have a look at the file:
${R_HOME}/library/maps/mapdata/world.N which lists the name associated with every polygon.
Note that the maps database is historical, for example Czechoslovakia is one country.
Hope this helps,
