Dear Gregor, here's my contribution:
http://arcdata.esri.com/data_downloader/DataDownloader?part=10200&stack= back ESRI lets you zoom on the world map and download the relevant shapefiles. I have used them and it works just fine for country boundaries. There is Slovenija too (the maps look post-1991 ;^)) I have a very raw tutorial on the subject of drawing maps, I'm sending it this evening from home (I don't have it here).

I am a total newbie to map handling, but a keen R user. I have some estimates by numbers per country (in names, such as Germany, France, ...) and would like to add this information with use of color on world and perhaps additionally to Europe map. How can this be achieved in R? Any pointers to relevant literature/tutorials would be fine. Many thanks! -- Lep pozdrav / With regards, Gregor Gorjanc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- University of Ljubljana PhD student Biotechnical Faculty Zootechnical Department URI: http://www.bfro.uni-lj.si/MR/ggorjan Groblje 3 mail: gregor.gorjanc <at> bfro.uni-lj.si SI-1230 Domzale tel: +386 (0)1 72 17 861 Slovenia, Europe fax: +386 (0)1 72 17 888 Ai sensi del D.Lgs. 196/2003 si precisa che le informazioni ...{{dropped}} _______________________________________________ R-sig-Geo mailing list R-sig-Geo@stat.math.ethz.ch https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-geo
