[R-sig-Geo] polygon buffers?

[Peter Adler]

Dear R gurus,

I am very excited about all the spatials tools in R because they have 
almost liberated me from ESRI products. One of the last things I have 
yet to figure out how to do in R is to create buffers around polygons 
(or just expand polygons). I searched the R-sig-geo archives (using 
Google) for "polygon buffer" and "transform polygon" but haven't found 
anything to get me started. Thanks in advance for your ideas,

Peter
