Hi there,
Does anyone know what is going on here. Basically I am doing some New Graphics mapping stuff. I need continental outlines, but i also want the US states and the Canadian provinces.
This should be straightforward - mapcontinents has /usa and /canada options....
but when I do this the coastal outlines are not consistent.
To show you what I mean - this code shows the issue perfectly with either mapping. Check the outline of Florida or California - the continent outline (black) and the USA outline (red) do not match up at all. Total mess.
I can't believe I'm the first person to notice this - but does anyone have a solution?
Any help appreciated
Cheers
George.
