SpatialToPBS: converts spatial objects as defined in package sp to simpler...

In RgoogleMaps: Overlays on Static Maps

converts spatial objects as defined in package sp to simpler PBSmapping type dataframes

Description

The PlotPolysOnStaticMap() function currently does not take sp objects directly but instead needs

PBSmapping type data.frames. This function converts sp objects into such.

THANKS TO Fabio Priuli for a major bug fix w.r.t. holes in spatial polygons!

Usage

SpatialToPBS(xy, verbose = 0)

Arguments

xy	spatial object, such as SpatialPoints, SpatialPolygons, etc..
verbose	level of verbosity

Value

list with elements xy = converted object, bb = bounding box, fun = plot function

Examples

  if (0) {


    data("NYleukemia", envir = environment())


    population <- NYleukemia$data$population


    cases <- NYleukemia$data$cases


    mapNY <- GetMap(center=c(lat=42.67456,lon=-76.00365), 


                    destfile = file.path(tempdir(),"NYstate.png"), 


                    maptype = "mobile", zoom=9)


    #mapNY=ReadMapTile("NYstate.png")


    clrStuff=ColorMap(100*cases/population, alpha = 0.35, log = TRUE)


    NYpolys = SpatialToPBS(NYleukemia$spatial.polygon)


    PlotPolysOnStaticMap(mapNY, NYpolys$xy, col = clrStuff$colcode, add = FALSE)


    legend("topleft", legend = clrStuff$legend, fill = clrStuff$fill, 


           bg = rgb(0.1,0.1,0.1,0.3))


}
