### Description

Global Maps of Coast

### Usage

    data(coastmap)

### Format

List structure:

STROKES

  list(nam, num, index, col, style, code, LAT1, LAT2, LON1, LON2)

POINTS

  list(lat, lon)

PROJ

  list(type, LAT0, LON0, LAT1, LAT2, LATS, LONS, DLAT, DLON, FE, FN, name)

### Details

This map list is used for filling in coastal lines for global maps. The style=3 is for filling in polygons. The strokes are named for easier access to particular parts ofthe globe. Asia and Africa are one stroke, as are North and South America. there are currently three codes: C=major coast, c=smaller coasts, L=interior lakes.

### Examples

    data(coastmap)
    #######  see the codes:
    unique(coastmap$STROKES$code)
    #########  see the different names:
    unique(coastmap$STROKES$nam)

    #########  change the colors based on code
    coastmap$STROKES$col[coastmap$STROKES$code=="C" ] = rgb(1, .6, .6)
    coastmap$STROKES$col[coastmap$STROKES$code=="c" ] = rgb(1, .9, .9)
    coastmap$STROKES$col[coastmap$STROKES$code=="L" ] = rgb(.6, .6, 1)

    plotGEOmap(coastmap , border='black' , add=FALSE, xaxs='i')
