Hey, A basic question. Is there anyone that knows a good text on using the R packages map and maptools for R? I have read the references for both but having trouble getting started. What I want to do is to load a map (.shp file) and display statistics on this maps using colours. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, John
Hi John, The SIDS examples in the spatial graphics gallery may be helpful: r-spatial.sourceforge.net/gallery For a general reference, see Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R. Note that the book's webpage includes figures with code asdar-book.org There's also the spatial Task View cran.r-project.org/web/views/Spatial.html and an active spatial mailing list stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/R-SIG-Geo hth, Kingsford Jones On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 1:01 PM, John Lipkins<john.lipkins at googlemail.com> wrote:> Hey, > > A basic question.
