Dear R users, I would like to draw map and import it in maptools/spatstat packages.
The 'raw data' I have come from a web page (<map>...</map>) and are basically a list of coordinates of a polygon. I would like to know how to import them in R; I checked the maptools packages, but all the examples use existing .dbf files. I just have a (serie of) text file(s) looking like this: For example, for the French Region Burgundy: <area href="region.asp?reg=26" shape="poly" title="Bourgogne" alt="Bourgogne" coords="208,121,211,115,221,113,224,115,225,120,229,122,232,128,251,125,255, 130,256,136,266,138,268,148,267,154,263,160,267,168,267,180,262, 175,256,178,254,184,248,184,243,187,237,187,232,185,234,181,227, 171,216,171,212,166,211,155,208,149,208,135,211,132,213,125,208, 121"> any idea welcome, sylvain (If anayone is interested with that type of data, they're available at the INSEE website along with loads of information on the population and economy of each region) ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
