kriging shapefiles

It is perhaps easier than you think, see the example in gstat:

library(gstat)
?krige

After this is run "meuse" is a SpatialPointsDataFrame:

coordinates(meuse) = ~x+y

Any point shapefile read with readOGR from rgdal (or the alternative
functions in maptools) will also be SpatialPointsDataFrames, and so
the code will work much the same.

To use other kriging functions that perhaps use data.frames, just use
as.data.frame(x) to convert a SpatialPointDataFrame to the non-spatial
version.

Cheers, Mike.

Hi! Im new to R and I need to interpolate a shapefile using kriging. I've been able to plot/read the shapefile using the package maptools or rgdal. I've searched the internet for sample codes but most of the kriging codes that I've found done in R is done using txtfiles or CSVs. ?An example could be of great help. Thanks.
