Hi, Have a look to this thread posted on the ferret mailling list. http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/maillists/tmap/ferret_users/fu_2012/msg00051.htmlIt exposed a solution based on kml files that are available from http://www.gadm.org/
at different admnistrative levels. Patrick
Hi - There's an FAQ about coastlines and borders - http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/faq/detailed-coastlines-and-borderswhich gives a couple of resources that we know of for coastline data. It also discusses formatting the data for this kind of data. Basically all you need is (lon,lat) data for the border and then plot it with the PLOT/OVER/VS command.Ansley On 4/19/2012 7:14 AM, Hein Zelle wrote:Dear Otacilio Leandro,Question 1:I was thinking if its possible to draw the lines of states only at Brazil.The easiest way would be to obtain a border dataset somewhere from the Brazilian government. The data must be available digitally, somewhere. Convert it to netcdf or load it directly from ASCII, and plot it the same way as the "go land" script does.Question 2: Two states of Brazil are with outdated borders (Goias/Tocantis and Mato Grosso/Mato Grosso do Sul). Is there any way to get the go land_detail script file with update borders?Same answer really: you'll have to find an up-to-date border data set. The government website would probably be the first stop to visit. Kind regards, Hein Zelle
