[Q]: Converting SpatialPolygons with proj4string to spatstat owin
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Dear Roger,
The plot method for Spatial* objects looks to see whether the geometries are in geographical coordinates. If they are, it applies a correction to the y axis depending on the distance from the Equator. You can get the spatstat look by fixing the aspect to 1 in plot(de, asp=1), overriding the adjustment.
Thats very helpful. Fiddling around with the aspect ratio, I tricked spatstat to use the correct aspect ratio: plot(owin.de,asp=attr(de,"asp"),main="") to give me a nice looking map plotted with spatstat.
Project the geometries to the plane (spTransform methods in rgdal).
Ok, I'll look into that. Thanks for the help.
