mapLines: Add Lines to a Map

Description

Plot lines on an existing map, by analogy to lines().

Usage

mapLines(longitude, latitude, greatCircle = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

longitude

vector of longitudes of points to be plotted, or an object from which longitude and latitude can be inferred (e.g. a coastline file, or the return value from mapLocator()), in which case the following two arguments are ignored.

latitude

vector of latitudes of points to be plotted.

greatCircle

a logical value indicating whether to render line segments as great circles. (Ignored.)

…

optional arguments passed to lines().
