Hi, I'd like to read a shapefile into a Map object. This is exactly what read.shape{maptools} is suppoed to do, according to the documentation I found in the link below.
However, this doesn't seem to work library(maptools)x <- read.shape(system.file("shapes/sids.shp", package="maptools")[1])Error: could not find function "read.shape" I haven't found this function on the documentation from the latest release of the package, so I assume is no longer supported. Is there an alternative way of doing this? http://rss.acs.unt.edu/Rdoc/library/maptools/html/read.shape.html Thanks, Axel.
