[R-sig-Geo] How to remove the second order trend in gstat?

[ONKELINX, Thierry]

Have you tried the option "degree = 2" in gstat? ?gstat reads "degree:
order of trend surface in the location, between 0 and 3"

Cheers,

Thierry

PS A working sample of your code makes it be easier to give you
feedback.
