ReadPoly: Read shape files

In geospacom: Facilitate Generating of Distance Matrices Used in Package 'spacom' and Plotting Data on Maps

Description

Generates a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame from a shape file

Usage

ReadPoly(shapefile, proj = GPS, fix.holes = TRUE, ID=NULL)

Arguments

shapefile	Path to a shape file
proj	The projection used in the file, default to GPS
fix.holes	By default, tries to fix holes in the polygon frame
ID	A character vector to be passed to readShapePoly. It specifies the name of a column in the .dbf file containing the ID values of the shapes - the values will be converted to a character vector. If NULL (default), the ID of the polygons is taken.

Value

A SpatialPolygonsDataFrame
