In haddonm/abspatial: A set of functions to assist mapping Abalone Spatial data

#' @title abspatial a set of functions to assist mapping abalone data
#'
#' @description The abspatial package provides a set of functions to
#'     facilitate the plotting of the abalone GPS logger data. This
#'     focusses on using long and lat data rather than using GIS
#'     functions from packages such as sp and rdgal, although it
#'     requires the latter for the getlatlong function to operate.
#'
#' @details This package includes mapping functions and data sets
#' @section Mapping functions:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{mapgrid}{includes a variable whchvar into a maptas graphic}
#'   \item{mapLand}{puts land mass on top of a plot; covers land overlaps}
#'   \item{maptas}{plots up a schematic map outline of Tasmania}
#'   \item{mappoints}{literally adds a set of (long,lat) points to a map}
#' }
#' @section Utility functions:
#' \describe{
#'    \item{getblock}{selects the given block data from input data.frame}
#'    \item{getlatlong}{converts a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame to a data.frame}
#'    \item{getpoints}{selects any lat-long records within a view}
#'    \item{getsubblock}{getsubblock selects the given subblock data from
#'    input data.frame}
#'    \item{overlap}{calculates the oid overlaps across year triplets}
#'    \item{summarygrid}{generates some statistics for the variable whchvar}
#' }
#' @section Plotting functions:
#' \describe{
#'    \item{plotgrid}{plots multiple grid data sets in one graphic}
#' }
#' @section Data Sets:
#' \describe{
#'   \item{taspoly}{a data frame of 35657 rows x 3 columns depicting
#'       1023 different polygons making up a rough map of Tasmania
#'       Not exported try head(abspatial:::taspoly,20)}
