Hi, I am working with a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame of many islands. There are a lot of polygons (islands) composing my SpatialPolygonsDataFrame. I want to extract the elevation of each island. I need to separate the different polygons (like dissolve function in arcgis), to have the elevation of each island. Do you have any idea how can I do that ? I already read a lot of forum, and read the maptools package but I did not find something useful for my problem. Coordinates: min max x 40.32140 63.500179 y -25.60895 -3.711519 Is projected: FALSE proj4string : [+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +no_defs] Data attributes: NAME TYPE Madagascar and the Indian Ocean Islands:1 hotspot_area:1 NAME_TYPE Madagascar and the Indian Ocean Islands_hotspot_area:1 LEGEND Madagascar and the Indian Ocean Islands:1 > class(hot) [1] "SpatialPolygonsDataFrame" attr(,"package") [1] "sp"
