Dear All, >From :
?maps::map we have : map(database = "world", regions = ".", exact = FALSE, boundary = TRUE, interior = TRUE, projection = "", parameters = NULL, orientation = NULL, fill = FALSE, col = 1, plot = TRUE, add = FALSE, namesonly = FALSE, xlim = NULL, ylim = NULL, wrap = FALSE, resolution = if (plot) 1 else 0, type = "l", bg = par("bg"), mar = c(4.1, 4.1, par("mar")[3], 0.1), myborder = 0.01, namefield="name", lforce="n", ...) My query is the regex regions="." will match any single character. Should it not be regions =".*" to be precise? Although I do realize that "." will also match any string except "" (the empty string)? To be precise it should be ".*" which can match an empty string as well ANY arbitrary string. I was confused for a short while when I first read this. Look forward to clarification on this.
