[R-sig-Geo] Points2grid() from spatial points

[Thomas Szegvary]

Hello, I'm new to R and try to use the geostatistical packages. 
I have a problem making grid from ESRI shapefiles. I imported the shapefile
(polygon) and projected the coordinates. Then I used spsample() to produce a
spatial points for the given regions resp. polygons. With points2grid I
wanted to produce the grid, which should be used for krige(), but a always
have an error message (see below). 

Script:
>#prepare grid
>europe <- readShapePoly("R course/country/europePoly.shp")
>proj4string(europe) = CRS("+init=epsg:4326") europe.tr <-
spTransform(europe,CRS("+init=epsg:3035"))
>europe.points <- spsample(europe.tr,type="regular",cellsize=100000)
>points2grid(europe.points) 
                       x1      x2
cellcentre.offset 2735004 1478310
cellsize           100000  100000
cells.dim              37      48
Warning message:
grid has empty column/rows in dimension 2 in: points2grid(europe.points)


Thanks a lot
Thomas
