Description

The function outputs a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object to be used by Mondrian

Usage

sp2Mondrian(SP, file, new_format=TRUE)

Arguments

`SP`	a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object
`file`	file where output is written
`new_format`	default TRUE, creates a text data file and a separate map file; the old format put both data sets in a single file - the map file is named by inserting "MAP_" into the file= argument after the rightmost directory separator (if any)
