Good Morning:
I need to construct a set of Thiessen Polygons centered around
approximately 4500 longlat positions in the US. After searching the R
site, I was going to attempt to use the arealsubPolygons function in the
hydrosanity package. I am using a Windows system.
When attempting to call the package I get the following error messages
under both R2.8.1 and R2.9.0.
##################################################################

I have tried downloading the package and it's dependencies from several
locations and get the same errors each time.
Any suggestions with respect to this package or others that I might use to
construct my polygons would be appreciated. I need a set of polygons that
cover the entire US county polygon.
The package description does say that it is "under development and should
not be considered stable", seems honest. Look at the code in its URL:
http://code.google.com/p/hydrosanity/source/browse/trunk/R/spatial_functions.R
find the function and its dependencies, load sp first, and probably a
matrix of boundary coordinates for a representation that has a coercion
method to gpc.poly, your point matrix, a vector of IDs, and source the
function locally. That avoids resolving all the dependencies needed for
the GUI in the package, and ought to work. Watch the min.area.pct=
argument as small polygons may go away.
Should work with some tweaking.
