Dear all,
I have been looking into finding the corresponding data base for this "map"
function and how to implement the data into s-plus. It says that this function
is not normally distributed w/ the standard s-plus. Does anyone know where to
get this data and the corresponding function to implement it? I would like to
create a world map following genetic distributions of certain genes.
thanks,
Richard Park

S-Plus function:
World World Map
USAGE
map('world')
map('world.thin')
This world database comes from a cleaned-up version of the
CIA World Data Bank II data and contains approximately 2 million
points representing the world coastlines and national boundaries.
This makes it suitable for extracting countries, continents, etc
while still retaining lots of detail.
This size also makes the world database unsuitable for drawing
maps of the entire world; for this purpose, use the world.thin database.
The world database is not shipped with the standard S distribution
because it requires lots of disk space (75Mb or so of working
space and 15+ megabytes to store). The database, along with installation
instructions, can be obtained in a highly-compressed 5Mb from
from the statlib file server (lib.stat.cmu.edu) by ftp.
WARNING
Do not try to execute map("world"); it will expand the S process to many
megabytes and may crash your machine.

EXAMPLES
map('world.thin', fill=T, col=1:10)
map('world', 'Switzerland')
