[R] map() and C++ interface

[Nokome Bentley]

Hi,

I am just beginning to use R for Windows and have two (perhaps naive)
questions:

1.  I am wanting to produce maps of the New Zealand coastline using R.   I
am aware of the map function in S-plus and was wondering if anyone had
ported it to R yet.  I could use the 'world' database for the data source
but since it is very large I was also wondering if anyone had fine scale
long and lat data for the NZ coatline.

2.  I am doing simulations using a C++ and am looking for a way to easily
transfer outputs to R.  Text files are an obvious way but it would be neat
to output all my simulation C++ objects into a single .RData file and then
to analyse and plot them from there.  Is there a way of doing that? Should I
consult the R source code?  Or would it be easier to create an R package
from within my C++ code.

Thanks,

Nokome Bentley
