A Valentine's day map

In the spirit of Valentine’s day, I made a map that uses the beautifully weird bonne projection. The code uses the proj4 facilities in the oce package.

library(oce)
data(coastlineWorld)

msg <- "HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!"
msgtop <- "You mean the WORLD to me"
msglon <- 130
msglat <- -30

par(mar=c(1,1,1,1))
mapPlot(coastlineWorld, col='pink', proj='+proj=bonne +lat_1=85',
        xlim=c(-13700000, 13700000),
        ylim=c(-18079625, 8008557))
mapGrid(longitude = c(-180, 180), lwd=4, col=2, latitude=NULL)
text(0, 8005400, msgtop, cex=2, font=3)
nc <- nchar(msg)
lon <- seq(-msglon, msglon, length.out = nc)
rot <- seq(-45, 45, length.out = nc)
for (i in 1:nc) {
    mapText(lon[i], msglat, substr(msg, i, i), cex=2.2, font=2, srt=rot[i])
    if (substr(msg, i, i+1) == 'ES')  mapText(1.02*lon[i], 0.8*msglat, "`", cex=2.2, font=2, srt=rot[i])
}
