spgrass6: Interface between GRASS geographical information system and R

In spgrass6: Interface Between GRASS 6+ Geographical Information System and R

Description

Interpreted interface between GRASS geographical information system, versions 6 and 7, and R, based on starting R from within the GRASS environment, or on running R stand-alone and creating a throw-away GRASS environment from within R. The interface uses classes defined in the sp package to hold spatial data.
