\title{Create a data frame of map data}
\usage{
map_data(map, region = ".", exact = FALSE, ...)
}
\arguments{
\item{map}{name of map provided by the \pkg{maps} package. These
include \code{\link[maps:county]{maps::county()}}, \code{\link[maps:france]{maps::france()}},
\code{\link[maps:italy]{maps::italy()}}, \code{\link[maps:nz]{maps::nz()}},
\code{\link[maps:state]{maps::state()}}, \code{\link[maps:usa]{maps::usa()}},
\code{\link[maps:world]{maps::world()}}, \code{\link[maps:world2]{maps::world2()}}.}
\item{region}{name(s) of subregion(s) to include. Defaults to \code{.} which
includes all subregions. See documentation for \code{\link[maps:map]{maps::map()}}
for more details.}
\item{exact}{should the \code{region} be treated as a regular expression
(\code{FALSE}) or as a fixed string (\code{TRUE}).}
\item{...}{all other arguments passed on to \code{\link[maps:map]{maps::map()}}}
}
\description{
Easily turn data from the \pkg{maps} package into a data frame suitable
for plotting with ggplot2.
}
\examples{
if (require("maps")) {
states <- map_data("state")

ggplot(choro, aes(long, lat)) +

}
