Hi
I have downloaded the maps package from CRAN, along with a few other
map* packages that I could find - but there didn't seem to be data on
the UK.
What I actually want to do (finally) is draw some maps of data that I
have which is organised by postcode (sort of equivalent of US Zip code
for those who don't know). I think this may be quite ambitious, but I
wanted to see just how far I could get with R.
I have seen examples on the list (e.g.
http://www.r-project.org/nocvs/mail/r-help/2000/4480.html) giving
examples of drawing maps of the UK at county level
(map("uk",fill=T,color=pop.colour)) but this didn't work on my
system -
as I don't seem to have the correct data for the UK.
Thanks in advance for your help
Mick
The package blighty allows you to draw the UK coastline.
