r"""
Plot continents, shorelines, rivers, and borders on maps.
Plots grayshaded, colored, or textured land masses [or water masses] on
maps and [optionally] draws coastlines, rivers, and political
boundaries. The data files come in 5 different resolutions: (**f**)ull,
(**h**)igh, (**i**)ntermediate, (**l**)ow, and (**c**)rude. The full
resolution files amount to more than 55 Mb of data and provide great
detail; for maps of larger geographical extent it is more economical to
use one of the other resolutions. If the user selects to paint the
land areas and does not specify fill of water areas then the latter
will be transparent (i.e., earlier graphics drawn in those areas will
not be overwritten). Likewise, if the water areas are painted and no
land fill is set then the land areas will be transparent.
A map projection must be supplied.

Parameters
----------
{projection}
{region}
*Required if this is the first plot command.*
{area_thresh}
{frame}
lakes : str or list
*fill*\ [**+l**\|\ **+r**].
Set the shade, color, or pattern for lakes and river-lakes. The
default is the fill chosen for "wet" areas set by the ``water``
parameter. Optionally, specify separate fills by appending
**+l** for lakes or **+r** for river-lakes, and passing multiple
strings in a list.
resolution : str
**f**\|\ **h**\|\ **i**\|\ **l**\|\ **c**.
Select the resolution of the data set to: (**f**\ )ull, (**h**\ )igh,
(**i**\ )ntermediate, (**l**\ )ow, and (**c**\ )rude.
land : str
Select filling of "dry" areas.
rivers : int, str, or list
*river*\ [/*pen*].
Draw rivers. Specify the type of rivers and [optionally] append
pen attributes [Default is ``"0.25p,black,solid"``].
Choose from the list of river types below; pass a list to ``rivers``
to use multiple arguments.
- ``0``: double-lined rivers (river-lakes)
- ``1``: permanent major rivers
- ``2``: additional major rivers
- ``3``: additional rivers
- ``4``: minor rivers
- ``5``: intermittent rivers - major
- ``6``: intermittent rivers - additional
- ``7``: intermittent rivers - minor
- ``8``: major canals
- ``9``: minor canals
- ``10``: irrigation canals
You can also choose from several preconfigured river groups:
- ``"a"``: rivers and canals (``0`` - ``10``)
- ``"A"``: rivers and canals except river-lakes (``1`` - ``10``)
- ``"r"``: permanent rivers (``0`` - ``4``)
- ``"R"``: permanent rivers except river-lakes (``1`` - ``4``)
- ``"i"``: intermittent rivers (``5`` - ``7``)
- ``"c"``: canals (``8`` - ``10``)
map_scale : str
[**g**\|\ **j**\|\ **J**\|\ **n**\|\ **x**]\ *refpoint*\ **+w**\ *length*.
Draw a simple map scale centered on the reference point specified.
box : bool or str
[**+c**\ *clearances*][**+g**\ *fill*][**+i**\ [[*gap*/]\ *pen*]]\
[**+p**\ [*pen*]][**+r**\ [*radius*]][**+s**\ [[*dx*/*dy*/][*shade*]]].
If set to ``True``, draw a rectangular border around the
map scale or rose. Alternatively, specify a different pen with
**+p**\ *pen*. Add **+g**\ *fill* to fill the scale panel [Default is
no fill]. Append **+c**\ *clearance* where *clearance* is either gap,
xgap/ygap, or lgap/rgap/bgap/tgap where these items are uniform,
separate in x- and y-direction, or individual side spacings between
scale and border. Append **+i** to draw a secondary, inner border as
well. We use a uniform gap between borders of 2p and the
:gmt-term:`MAP_DEFAULTS_PEN` unless other values are specified. Append
**+r** to draw rounded rectangular borders instead, with a 6p corner
radius. You can override this radius by appending another value.
Finally, append **+s** to draw an offset background shaded region.
Here, *dx/dy* indicates the shift relative to the foreground frame
[Default is ``"4p/-4p"``] and shade sets the fill style to use for
shading [Default is ``"gray50"``].
borders : int, str, or list
*border*\ [/*pen*].
Draw political boundaries. Specify the type of boundary and
[optionally] append pen attributes [Default is ``"0.25p,black,solid"``].
Choose from the list of boundaries below. Pass a list to ``borders`` to
use multiple arguments.
- ``1``: national boundaries
- ``2``: state boundaries within the Americas
- ``3``: marine boundaries
- ``"a"``: all boundaries (``1`` - ``3``)
water : str
Select filling "wet" areas.
shorelines : int, str, or list
[*level*\ /]\ *pen*.
Draw shorelines [Default is no shorelines]. Append pen attributes
[Default is ``"0.25p,black,solid"``] which apply to all four levels.
To set the pen for a single level, pass a string with *level*\ /*pen*\ ,
where level is 1-4 and represent coastline, lakeshore, island-in-lake shore,
and lake-in-island-in-lake shore. Pass a list of *level*\ /*pen*
strings to ``shorelines`` to set multiple levels. When specific
level pens are set, those not listed will not be drawn.
dcw : str or list
*code1,code2,…*\ [**+g**\ *fill*\ ][**+p**\ *pen*\ ][**+z**].
Select painting country polygons from the `Digital Chart of the World
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Chart_of_the_World>`__.
Append one or more comma-separated countries using the 2-character
`ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 convention
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2>`__.
To select a state of a country (if available), append .\ *state*,
(e.g, ``"US.TX"`` for Texas). To specify a whole continent, prepend **=**
to any of the continent codes (e.g. ``"=EU"`` for Europe). Append
**+p**\ *pen* to draw polygon outlines [Default is no outline] and
**+g**\ *fill* to fill them [Default is no fill].
