One place to start would be the "Spatial" task view on CRAN. The other would be to ask on R-sig-geo, where people who specialize in spatial data "hang out".
Delaunay triangulation is available in several packages. A simple search for "delaunay" on the CRAN packages page will easily find at least one. You will also need the sp package for sure. Assigning a value to each triangle may or may not be easy, it will depend, probably among other things, on the data structure returned by whatever function you end up using to create the triangles. Based on a quick look at your acon web page, you might be happy with akima::interp Gridded Bivariate Interpolation for Irregular Data -Don -- Don MacQueen Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory 7000 East Ave., L-627 Livermore, CA 94550 925-423-1062 On 6/30/14 9:31 AM, "Trevor Davies" <davies.tre...@gmail.com> wrote: >Hello, > >I was hoping someone could point me in the direction towards a package >where I can use delaunay triangulation to create a polygon set where the >inside of the triangles are tagged with an estimate of a mean value of the >points making up the points of the triangle.
