I can get a list of states in Brazil using CountryData[ ].
CountryData["Brazil","Regions"]
I am interested in then getting Polygons that provide a map of these.
For example, for all of South America, I can get my graphics with:
map["southamerica"]={EdgeForm[Black],Opacity[0],CountryData[#,"Polygon"]&/@C
ountryData["SouthAmerica"]}
My reading of the documentation suggests that CountryData[ ] does not in
fact have geographic information on "Regions" and therefore I am out of luck
getting my desired map of the states.
Is that right, i.e., I am out of luck? Or am I missing something?
If I am out of luck with the IntegratedData, does anyone know a good
alternative resource that has lists of longitude and latitude coordinates?
Thanks!
