I have a SpatialPolygonsDataFrame object (sp package). It contains 40 polygons. Now I want to join some of the polygones. I cannot figure out how to do that? Any ideas?
The code below produces a map of Germany and I need to join some counties.
library(sp) library(RColorBrewer) # get spatial data for Germany on county level con <- url("http://gadm.org/data/rda/DEU_adm3.RData") print(load(con)) close(con) # plot Germany with random colors col = rainbow(length(levels(gadm$NAME_3))) spplot(gadm, "NAME_3", col.regions=col, main="German Regions", colorkey = FALSE, lwd=.4, col="white") ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Mark Heckmann Dipl.
