R package "maps"

[agstephens]

Can we install "maps" for R, see:

https://secure.helpscout.net/conversation/1287931402/38435?folderId=3874196

Test with:

library(maps)
​
​# test with
​map.cities

[alaniwi]

conda package r-maps. Environment resolves but test needs to be added per above.

[alaniwi]

Above test just prints the function. Testing with map.cities() by itself gives blank map. Can test with

map("world", "UK")
map.cities()

(Slightly messy because it also shows cities outside the UK within the plot area, but not worth refining.)

[alaniwi]

Done.
