Hej hej,

is there a way to extend the SpatialPointsDataFrame data slot?This is the structure of an object of it:> str(coord)
Formal class 'SpatialPointsDataFrame' [package "sp"] with 5 slots
  ..@ data       :'data.frame':	214 obs. of  2 variables:
  .. ..$ location.long: num [1:214] -79.8 -79.8 -79.8 -79.8 -79.8 ...
  .. ..$ location.lat : num [1:214] 9.16 9.16 9.16 9.16 9.16 ...
  ..@ coords.nrs : num(0) 
  ..@ coords     : num [1:214, 1:2] -79.8 -79.8 -79.8 -79.8 -79.8 ...
  .. ..- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
  .. .. ..$ : NULL
  .. .. ..$ : chr [1:2] "location.long" "location.lat"
  ..@ bbox       : num [1:2, 1:2] -79.84 9.16 -79.84 9.17
  .. ..- attr(*, "dimnames")=List of 2
  .. .. ..$ : chr [1:2] "location.long" "location.lat"
  .. .. ..$ : chr [1:2] "min" "max"
  ..@ proj4string:Formal class 'CRS' [package "sp"] with 1 slots
  .. .. ..@ projargs: chr NA

data is a data.frame including the information of long and lat location. I would like to have there a third information: time (but as POSIXct). Is there an elegant way to do this?

Best,
marco
