Add Lines to a Map

Description

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

Usage

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

Arguments

longitude	numeric 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().

Examples

if (utils::packageVersion("sf") != "0.9.8") {
    # sf version 0.9-8 has a problem with this projection
    library(oce)
    data(coastlineWorld)
    mapPlot(coastlineWorld, type='l',
            longitudelim=c(-80, 10), latitudelim=c(0, 120),
            projection="+proj=ortho +lon_0=-40")
    lon <- c(-63.5744, 0.1062)             # Halifax CA to London UK
    lat <- c(44.6479, 51.5171)
    mapPoints(lon, lat, col='red')
    mapLines(lon, lat, col='red')
}
