Attach values from polygons to points
Hi, I am working with two shapefiles in R; one is a point.shp the other is a polygon.shp. Now, I would like to intersect/join/attach all the values from the polygon to the table of the point.shp. I tried overlay() and spRbind in package sp, but nothing did what I expected them to do. Could anyone give me a hint how I can combine both shapefiles? Thank you! Jens
