PBS Mapping: Draw Maps and Implement Other GIS Procedures
Description
This software has evolved from fisheries research
conducted at the Pacific Biological Station (PBS) in Nanaimo,
British Columbia, Canada. It extends the R language to include
two-dimensional plotting features similar to those commonly
available in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Embedded
C code speeds algorithms from computational geometry, such as
finding polygons that contain specified point events or
converting between longitude-latitude and Universal Transverse
Mercator (UTM) coordinates. It includes data for a global
shoreline and other data sets in the public domain.
For a complete user's guide, see the file PBSmapping-UG.pdf
in the R directory .../library/PBSmapping/doc.
PBSmapping includes 10 demos that appear as figures in
the User's Guide. To see them, run the function .PBSfigs().
More generally, a user can view all demos available from locally
installed packages with the function runDemos() in our
related (and recommended) package PBSmodelling.
