I have no tried anything, that's why I'm looking for help.
Maybe this list is too advanced for my skills in R environment, because
I need to start from the begining.
My idea basicly is to merge both maps, and go painting the data by
metropolitan area excluding the municipalities left.
Perhaps you can guide me with some manuals for beginners about the
maptools and sp. Some examples may help also.
In addition to Greg's constructive suggestions, you (and others) may find
the resources at:
http://geostat-course.org/Topic_Bivand_2012
useful. There are other materials in the course to which this belongs:
http://geostat-course.org/Muenster_2012
This link shows the available recordings from Münster in 2012 and Landau
2011:
http://archive.org/search.php?query=GEOSTAT
with:
http://archive.org/details/GeostatIntroductionToRepresentingSpatialObjectsInR
the recording of my 2012 talk (1 1/2 hours, I'm afraid). The slides and
accompanying materials cover much of chapters 2-5 of the second edition of
our book (2013), so there is information around. However, as users' needs
vary greatly, it is never easy to provide general advice that is a good
match to specific cases.
Hope this helps,
Roger
Thanks,

Asunto: Re: [R-sig-Geo] Creating a map with metropolitan areas
What have you tried so far?
Do you want base graphics? lattice graphics? gglot2 graphics? or any of them?
I would probably start with the sp and maptools packages, but there are other
tools listed in the spatial task view that may help as well.
You are more likely to receive useful help if you show what you have tried (in
a way that others can copy and paste to try themselves) and explain what you
would like to be different.

Hi,
I'm new in this list, and new in the R environment. I'm trying to plot
a map with the index localization by metropolitan area.
I have a .shp with states (32 obs);
