Dear all,

I have a problem with this piece of code which I don't really see how to
overcome and I think it might also be of more general interest:

map(xlim=c(-10,40),ylim=c(30,60)
,mar=rep(0,4)+.1
,fill=T
,col="darkseagreen"
,bg="skyblue"
)

The idea is to use the map function from the maps package to draw a map of
Europe. By default with the argument fill=T there is border to the
polygones and I want them without border. Here is the start of the problems.

The polygone function used in map function has a border argument that can
deal with that issue, the problem is that this argument cannot be passed to
map directly because map also has a border argument for another purpose (I
tried with the density argument for polygone passed to map and here it is
working (because map don't have a density argument itself)).

Is there any way to pass a border argument to the polygone function within
map???

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers, Sylvain.

PS: for the moment I used a trick with the fg argument passed to par which
allows to pass a colour for the border of the polygons.
