\title{Create a layer of map borders}
\usage{
borders(database = "world", regions = ".", fill = NA, colour = "grey50",
  xlim = NULL, ylim = NULL, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{database}{map data, see \code{\link[maps]{map}} for details}

\item{regions}{map region}

\item{fill}{fill colour}

\item{colour}{border colour}

\item{xlim, ylim}{latitudinal and logitudinal range for extracting map
polygons, see \code{\link[maps]{map}} for details.}

\item{...}{other arguments passed onto \code{\link{geom_polygon}}}
}
\description{
This is a quick and dirty way to get map data (from the maps package)
on to your plot. This is a good place to start if you need some crude
reference lines, but you'll typically want something more sophisticated
for communication graphics.
}
\examples{
if (require("maps")) {

ia <- map_data("county", "iowa")
mid_range <- function(x) mean(range(x))
seats <- plyr::ddply(ia, "subregion", plyr::colwise(mid_range, c("lat", "long")))
ggplot(ia, aes(long, lat)) +
  geom_polygon(aes(group = group), fill = NA, colour = "grey60") +
  geom_text(aes(label = subregion), data = seats, size = 2, angle = 45)
