Arguments

file

name of file to be read

region.id

variable that defines the ordering of the observations

skip

number of lines to skip

Details

The first line of a 'GWT' file generally contains some information (e.g. the name of the shape file, the number of observations), in which case, skip should be equal to 1. When the file has a 'GWT' extension, the number of observations is generally retrived from the first line. Alternatively, it is fixed to the length of the unique region.id variable.
