Arguments

`longitude`	the longitude in decimal degrees, positive east of Greenwich, or a data frame with columns named `latitude` and `longitude`, in which case these values are extracted from the data frame and the second argument is ignored.
`latitude`	the latitude in decimal degrees, positive north of the Equator.
`fillable`	boolean indicating whether the coastline can be drawn as a filled polygon.
