Two R plots with different scaling

Question

I want to plot two countries:

library('maps')

map(database='world',regions='germany')
map(database='world',regions='burkina faso')

But "burkina farso" is clipped by the x-region of "germany". How can I get a complete map of "burkina faso"?

Answer 1

It seems the default margin of maps::map() is set at mar = c(4.1, 4.1, 4, 0.1).

You could reduce left and right margin area.

library('maps')

map(database='world',regions='germany')
map.axes(cex.axis=0.8)

dev.new()                                      # if you are using R-Gui
par(mar=c(3, 1, 2, 0) + 0.1)                   # margins in lines (bottom, left, top, right)
map(database='world',regions='burkina faso')
map.axes(cex.axis=0.8)
