import_shp: Import ESRI shapefiles

Description Usage Arguments Details Author(s) See Also Examples

This is a wrapper for the shapefile function (from the raster package). It performs additonal checks on data covariates (converting all logical and character variables to factors) and prepares a 'fortified' version of SpatialPolygons objects data to allow ggplot-style plotting.

1	import_shp(x, fortify = TRUE, ...)

`x`	file path of the shapefile including the file name (the file extension is not required since it is assumed to be `.shp`), or a SpatialPolygons or SpatialPoints object
`fortify`	if `TRUE`, a 'fortified' version of the spatial object will be returned (see Details)
`...`	additional arguments to pass to shapefile

A list with two elements:

`sp`	an object of class SpatialPolygons or SpatialPoints
`fortified`	for polygon shapefiles, this will be the result of applying the fortify function to the `sp` element
