Format

List structure:

STROKES

This map list is used for filling in coastal lines for global maps. The style=3 is for filling in polygons. The strokes are named for easier access to particular parts ofthe globe. Asia and Africa are one stroke, as are North and South America. there are currently three codes: C=major coast, c=smaller coasts, L=interior lakes.
