[R-sig-Geo] How to get the coordinates (latitude/longitude) of a continent outline?

[Sohrab Abbasnejad]

Hello,
I would like to have the list of coordinates of the boundary (outline) of a continent (Africa). The "map" function from the "maps" package gives the coordinates for country outlines, but not the for the continents.

Does anybody have an idea where I can find the data?

Thank you!

Cheers,
Sohrab
