Has anyone else seen this behavior from the "maps" package? map('state', fill=TRUE) results in a lively mix of overlapping polygons inside a map of the US, but they have no obvious relationship to state boundaries. (See attached jpeg.) -------------- next part -------------- I reinstalled the maps and mapdata packages from ftp://ftp.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/pub/statistics/map/ to see it that would help, but it doesn't. Since our platform is an SGI (running R-1.8.0, development version, June 25), I made sure to use mapget.c.notlinux, and that didn't help either. Any thoughts? Is there something I'm missing? Debby
