Hey, A basic question. Is there anyone that knows a good text on using the R packages map and maptools for R? I have read the references for both but having trouble getting started. What I want to do is to load a map (.shp file) and display statistics on this maps using colours. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, John

Hi John, The SIDS examples in the spatial graphics gallery may be helpful: http://r-spatial.sourceforge.net/gallery/ For a general reference, see Applied Spatial Data Analysis with R. Note that the book's webpage includes figures with code http://www.asdar-book.org/ There's also the spatial Task View http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Spatial.html and an active spatial mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/R-SIG-Geo/ hth, Kingsford Jones On Mon, Jun 22, 2009 at 1:01 PM, John
