INTRODUCTION
The oklahoma package adds maps of Oklahoma to the visky mapping application. See the visky (n) man page for more information. When loaded, all maps in the display show a county map of Oklahoma and vicinity. Other features can be added and hidden from the Mapdata menu. Right-double clicking (mouse button 3) positions a + shaped marker at the cursor location.

MENUS
When loaded, the oklahoma package adds a MapData menu with the following selections:
- Find - initiates a search for a place. The type of place sought is indicated by the row of buttons. The search pattern can be an explicit name or a regular expression. See the regexp man page. Searches are case insensitive. If a place is found, the map is re-centered at the place, and the plus marker is moved there.
- Label counties - adds county labels.
- Show lakes and rivers - adds lakes and rivers.
- Show highways - adds highways and major roads.
- Show places - adds populated places. If places are visible, there will also be a Population menu selection which allows user to set the population threshold. Only places with populations greater than or equal to the threshold are drawn. Clicking on a place shows the place name.
- Show airports - adds airports. Clicking on an airport shows its name.
- Land classification - adds USGS land classifications.
- Web - opens various geographical web pages to the location of the plus marker.
- Dot size - sets the size in pixels of place dots.
