Subject: starting with Rmap
Hello,
I am a beginner in R programming, so sorry for the low level of this post...
I would like to create a Europe map and plot some Informations on it,
using lat/long coordinates.
I've seen the Rmap project, which seems to do what I want.
The thing is that I can't get started.
I download the packages: maps, mapdata, spmaps, shapefiles
I have a text file for the europe continent downloaded from the World
data bank, but I don't know how to create a database that can be used by
Rmap.
So I tried with shapefiles, I have a shapefile for Europe, as is it
noticed in the tutorial http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/Software/Rmap/
i tried:
>europe <- shapefile("europe.shp")
Erreur : impossible de trouver la fonction "shapefiles"
= The function shapefile was not found.
Do someone have an idea on what I am doing wrong, or know a good
tutorial that can be helpfull for what I what to do.
Many thanks,
Laurence Amihat
