Hello everybody,

I just subscribed to this special list as I have got a question concerning
geografical plots:

I created ONE plot showing Austria using two different shape files, which I
downloaded from the statistical institution of Austria:

download.file("http://www.**statistik.at/web_de/downloads/**
geodaten/statistik_austria_**nuts3.zip<http://www.statistik.at/web_de/downloads/geodaten/statistik_austria_nuts3.zip>
",
 "statistik_austria_nuts3.zip")
unzip("statistik_austria_nuts3.zip")
library("maptools")
at <- readShapePoly("STATISTIK_AUSTRIA_NUTS3")
plot(at, col = "lightgray")

download.file("http://www.**statistik.at/web_de/downloads/**
geodaten/statistik_austria_**nuts2.zip<http://www.statistik.at/web_de/downloads/geodaten/statistik_austria_nuts3.zip>
",
 "statistik_austria_nuts2.zip")
unzip("statistik_austria_nuts2.zip")
at1 <- readShapePoly("STATISTIK_AUSTRIA_NUTS2")
plot(at1,border="blue",add=TRUE)

The problem is that by using the second shape file Vienna is shown with a
white colour which I don't want!
I tried putting two plots on top of each other with two shape files which I
got from a different source getting the same results!

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!
