problems with plotting STFDF

Hi Erin,

In the spacetime package there should be a function that allows you to
coerce from STFDF to STIDF class e.g. "as.STIDF.STFDF"
(https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/pkg/R/coerce.R?view=markup&root=spacetime
<https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/pkg/R/coerce.R?view=markup&root=spacetime&pathrev=25>).
Once your object is of STIDF class, then you can use "kml" function e.g.
in a loop:

x <- as.STIDF.STFDF(x)
kml_open("x.kml")
kml_layer(x, colour="var1.pred")
kml_close("x.kml")

I might add plotting support for STFDF objects in the future. At the
moment I do not see a special reason for this because STFDF is basically
a 'compressed' / special case of STIDF, which hence needs to be
'decompressed' anyway before you can write it to KML (classes in the
spacetime package are hence more creative than in the KML, but then the
beauty of KML is that it is rather simple while the compression is
implemented usually through zipping / KMZ).
