#
#  Description:
#    This example uses the new Earth..4 map database to draw
#    the provinces of China and the states of India.
#
#  Effects illustrated:
#      o  How to select a map database resolution.
#      o  How to generate both outlines and filled areas
#         of a specific map outline.
# 
#  Output:
#     A visualization with two frames is produced.
