Re: st: adding US state outlines using SPMAP

You can check Maurizio's theory by looking at the range of coordinates
and redefining them as necessary, e.g.:
use uscoordinates2
su _X
local xmax=r(max)
local xmin=r(min)
su _Y
local ymax=r(max)
local ymin=r(min)

use us-stateoutline.dta
su _X
replace _X=(_X-r(min))*(`xmax'-`xmin')/(r(max)-r(min))+`xmin'
su _Y
replace _Y=(_Y-r(min))*(`ymax'-`ymin')/(r(max)-r(min))+`ymin'
save rev-stateoutline
