I would like to draw a map of the US over an image, but then fill in the oceans.
here is my starting point:
library(maps)
library(graphics)
image(x=-90:-75, y = 25:40, z = outer(1:15, 1:15, "+"),
xlab = "lon", ylab = "lat")
map("state", add = TRUE)
But I would like the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico to be filled in a solid color.
