Examples

# NOT RUN {
data(conveyor, package="ocedata")
# }
# NOT RUN {
    data(coastlineWorld, package="oce")
    par(mar=rep(1,4))
    oce::mapPlot(coastlineCut(coastlineWorld,70), projection="+proj=wintri +lon_0=70")
    ## Main path
    lon <- subset(conveyor, path==1)$longitude
    lat <- subset(conveyor, path==1)$latitude
    oce::mapLines(lon, lat, col="blue", lwd=3)
    ## Secondary path (in Indian Ocean)
    lon <- subset(conveyor, path==2)$longitude
    lat <- subset(conveyor, path==2)$latitude
    oce::mapLines(lon, lat, col="darkgreen", lwd=3)
