[R] How to draw a map of Europe?
Hi R users, I need to draw a map of select European countries with country names shown on the map. Does anyone know how to do this in R? Also, is it possible to draw a historical map of European countries using R? Thanks a lot for your help.

Also, is it possible to draw a historical map of European countries using R? This came up on this list a while ago and I was just using that example for some work I'm doing but I have only copied what was posted and added minor things to it. I can't give you actual answer but you are probably just a few key words away from a google searhc. The term you are probably looking for is shapefile. Try that on google. For example, http://www.google.com/#sclient=psyhl=enq=shapefile+cran+europe turns up things that may help. Thanks a lot for your help.

Re: [R] How to draw a map of Europe?
I've created historical maps using R, but it required careful research, translating the boundaries into longitude and latitude shape files, then plotting them, similar to the example that David just provided. It seemed to be the easiest way I knew to produce the desired result, but it still took a moderate level of effort. Hope this helps.
