Hi folks,
I'm just learning how to use maps.  As an initial foray, I'm mapping the
states that have "duty to retreat" (blue) and "stand your ground" (red)
self-defense standards.  Here is my extremely naive script:

dtr <- c('alabama', 'arizona', 'conneticut', 'delaware', 'dist of columbia'
, 'hawaii', 'maryland', 'massachusetts', 'minnesota', 'missouri', 'nebraska'
, 'new hampshire', 'new jersey', 'new mexico', 'new york', 'north carolina'
, 'north dakota', 'ohio', 'pennsylvania', 'rhode island', 'virginia',
'wyoming', 'arkansas', 'vermont')


syg <-  c( 'alaska', 'california', 'colorado', 'florida', 'georgia', 'idaho'
, 'illinois', 'indiana', 'iowa', 'kansas', 'kentucky', 'louisiana', 'maine'
, 'michigan', 'mississippi', 'montana', 'nevada', 'oklahoma', 'oregon', 'south
carolina', 'south dakota', 'tennessee', 'texas', 'utah', 'washington', 'west
va', 'wisconsin')


map('state', proj='bonne', param=50,

region = c(syg, dtr),

fill=TRUE,

col=c('red', 'blue'))

Obviously that doesn't work.  A couple questions:

1. How do I get Alaska & Hawaii on the map?
2. How to I set the col atttribute for a subset of the states I'm mapping?

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Don
