Adding countries borders on an existing map

Hi!

I am working on data over Europe that I know how to display it correctly on a map. I also know how to add the coast line but I would like to add now the countries' frontiers. I tried to use worlddatamap (I have the required shape files) but I did not manage to add it properly to my existing script (ie I only have the European countries nicely displayed when I used it, without the data I was looking for displaying correctly first).

I also tried to use geoshow but without any success...

Do anybody know what kind of function could I use or script could I add?

Thanks!

Try using borders.

Hi Chad,

Have been exploring your borders function a little.. if I already have a contourfm plot of data, using borders, how could I simply just overlay country borders to whatever area my map takes place?
